The thing I like best is spotting my friends and cheering them on but I also enjoy yelling at strangers. It's always fun to try and get a reaction from them. I find the whole race-watching thing really inspiring.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819714901550763235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-25882796539765591962014-11-13T16:55:48.498-06:002014-11-13T16:55:48.498-06:00I always run-spectate!

I try to cheer, too, especially for the lead women, though I'm not very loud so I end up clapping a lot.

I really wanted to spectate at the Twin Cities Marathon as I probably knew about 20 people running but I had a friend visiting that weekend so couldn't get away to watch the race.Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-87576798764201769532014-11-12T07:44:44.355-06:002014-11-12T07:44:44.355-06:00It must be the coach in me, but every time I spect...It must be the coach in me, but every time I spectate a race (not my kids' XC races), I end up yelling "coaching" things at complete strangers. For example, "Pull your shoulders back." Relax your arms." "Kick ahead!" "Get on her shoulder.' HAHAHA, Keith asked me once if I really thought I was helping those people. Probably not, probably just getting on their nerves. :)L.A. Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697035798338739693noreply@blogger.com
