My New Winter Home


The track that I will be running on a lot this winter. In beautiful Wasilla, Alaska*
(It's 1/9 of a mile. Not great, but better than the treadmill.)
Question: What is the proper gym etiquette when another runner is running the wrong direction? On certain days you go left, on certain days you go right based on the schedule posted at the entrance. Last time I was here I ran the way according to the posted schedule, but there were two other runners (running together) who were running and walking opposite. So, every time we met up, I would have to switch lanes to avoid running into them.
Am I supposed to call them out on it?
Run the direction they are running in even though it is not the "posted" way?
Or just do what I'm doing and give them dirty looks as I pass?
*Actually, it's in Illinois. That was an attempt to cheer up my sister. She made the mistake of getting into a political "discussion" with my parents today.
