I think running is something that binds us together on a level that is more than physical, and competition can dampen that kinship (at least for those who are super competitive or depend on racing for their livelihood). Not to get all esoteric or anything, but I definitely agree with you, watzz. Of course, everyone has his or her own reasons for running, but mine definitely include the social connection that races tend to foster. <br /><br />Also, as a sidenote, I am a race talker. I wonder if anyone on the courses at the races I have run did not appreciate my quips or musings as we ran along side-by-side seeing as how I will talk to anyone and everyone I run with/past/behind. Maybe they are making blog posts this very moment about some annoying dork who kept cracking wise about the nuances of water stops and variances in asphalt at their last race.
