Everyone I meet on my runs gets a smile and a friendly "hello" from me. It's actually quite selfish. It costs me nothing, but every smile I get back gives me strength. Especially this elderly lady who is walking regularly along the Moselle. She seems very bitter. She always gets a special friendly smile and, on Saturdays, a "have a nice weekend." When she smiles and says hello back, it gives me superpowers. 😀🏃🏞

@Mr_GHARice Northern England is fertile territory for “morning pal”s from people walking their dogs!

Really? I've a number of Irish and British colleagues. They're always so polite. Maybe it's only that morning thing. 😉

@Mr_GHARice It’s a north/south thing. In the north, it’s normal to say good morning to strangers, whereas if you try that in the south they get nervous!
