Yes, yes she is. And she's been right behind me for the last mile. In all probability, she'll be right behind me at the finish line. But at least you've given me some information that could potentially be helpful... Don't worry, the cheers only get worse from here.

You know what? I'd like to see you "just get up this hill," Sharon. Just let me suffer in peace.

No I'm not. Please, I'm begging you, stop giving me false hope. I once heard some guy yell this at the half mile mark. Sir, we still have 2.6 miles left, and now we all hate you.

Wow! Thank you so much for this valuable insight. Without you, I would've just stopped right here in the middle of the course.

Silly me! I guess I can stop doing this handstand now! Everyone in this race knows that you need to use your legs to run. So, thanks, but I think we've got it covered.

Any cheering is appreciated by runners. Some more than others, but we will accept any break from the monotony of running. At least these cheers give us something to be mad about, and maybe we can channel our anger into passing the next person. If you have the patience to watch a bunch of people run by one by one, then I guess you've earned the right to yell whatever you want.
