Taking a detour - it's not a sign but the last thing I want to hear at mile 20 or so is somebody shouting "You're almost there!"
I'm sure they mean well or even they're trying to be funny (which, now that I'm not in the middle of a run, I can certainly appreciate the humor) but when I've been running for 4 hours and still have an hour to go, it's kind of deflating.
Sorry to be such a bummer. I'm off my soapbox now.
