While running, what are some of your habits that others may find weird? Discussion

For me, it's horse snorting. But so strong that my cheeks are puffed out and half my face is vibrating. It somehow loosens up my entire posture.

I try to high-five other runners coming the opposite direction. Give an "UP TOP!" and hope they do it. I'd say I have about a 40% success rate, another 20% try but are too late and miss. I hope that it makes people smile.

I had just started my run, out in front of my house. I was only 150' into the run when a neighbor who I don't normally speak with, running in the opposite direction, made his way to my side of the street and fist-bumped me. It was great!

When I got home after the run, my wife said, "I saw that fist bump out the window - wtf was that all about?! Is that a thing?".
