    There's an analogy to be made here to posting habits... no?

    One thing that unites the runners in your video is their literal emoticons, for instance.

    As a long time runner I've never seen anything remotely close to this.

    But hey, I've never jogged in the city...who knows...

    :D

    I've never seen any of these types of runners.

    Besides, I'm more of a Usain Bolt kinda runner, with less speed and not as cool.

    Whatever, at least they are moving their bodies and not sitting in their damn car watching their kids play soccer like some people.

    I've seen the geezer, but usually that's just the person speed walking, not running.

    LOL! Good one.

    Most of the runners are " :( " and " :mad: ", but think they're " :cool: " and the women are " :eek: " and " :confused: " ... right?

    Not really that funny... based on a running joke that the current generation keeps making about people being awkward and different and therefore funny. It's like a safe version of racist humor.

    :grin: Oh! Would have been a ZINGER had you used "RACE" instead. Nice try! I was on the fence, but that "racist" word sealed your fate. :p

    You're kidding, right? Maybe it's pretty old.

    Late Journey album... I believe it was right before Steve Perry went solo and recorded "Oh, Sherry.":rolleyes:

    I sometimes see the Dandy form when I join fun runs. Not really that noticeable when fatigue kicks in :p

    Definitely seen the Dandy and The Terminator 2! I find that there are more Female awkward runners than anything; and they tend run like the Stiffy from the waist down.

    I'm not an awkward runner but this is the main reason I don't like running in gyms. When I'm running for conditioning and that last 5 minutes comes around my gait gets UGLY!
