Strangest things you have seen while out running

Have a couple here but one was in New York and a guy was holding up traffic doing one arm press ups. Second was National senior track and field and out the back field getting warmed up and a couple going the whole 9 yards in front of everyone to see.

It's not that strange, but I love when pedestrians wearing earphones get a fright when you jog past

Running up the Kylemore road a few months ago, there was a car stopped in traffic going against me and I could hear beeps and shouts coming from it. Looked over to see someone in the passenger seat, lying back in a really weird position...then noticed he'd taken his lad out and was waving it at me...weird...just weird...

Ideally, it would be an RQ selfie with the offending dude, "in flagrante".

Otherwise, whatever you have available...:)

Saw this guy during a race in Florida recently :eek:

And though it's not weird and I'm not usually into medals (too cool don't ya know), the one for this race was pretty bling bling-

To give size context, the charms on the bottom are the size of a 2 euro coin and the sailfish swivel around! Must have cost a fortune to produce!!

While I'm at it here is the medal for the Miami marathon which I did in January-

It really seems to be used as a way to get people to do races over there. Amazing place to run a marathon though. 6am start running through little Cuba and Ocean Drive as the beautiful people are still partying their Saturday night away! T'was pretty surreal at time's with plenty of strange on view!
