Do's and Don'ts

Been wanting to share this but keep forgetting. This are a few samples of what you can say if you're a supporter/spectator in a marathon. Watch out for the 'DON'Ts'. It made me LOL!!!

DO SAY:

• Malaysia Boleh!
• Go! Go! Runners!
• Keep going!
• Come on! You can do it!
• You're doing great! Keep it up!
• All the way!
• Gambatte! (Japanese for Good luck)
• Jia You! (Mandarin for Encouragement)
• You inspire me!
• Just keep running...Just keep running! (in Finding Nemo's "Dory" style)

DON'T SAY

• Hang in there! Only 20 more kilometers to go...!
• Good job! Just 3 more hours to the end...
• Are you having fun? (when the runner is clearly struggling)
• You're almost there! (when it's too early in the race)

=)
