break a leg??

so in show business, it's bad luck to say "good luck". you're supposed to say "break a leg".

but i don't like wishing other runners "good luck" for races, because running isn't about luck. and it would be downright wrong to say to a runner "break a leg!" though i would totally laugh if someone said it to me. but then if i had a bad race i'd be like, "crap, that stupid a-hole jinxed me!"

i think i'd prefer something like "run smart" or "happy running". those are really the only two things you can hope for in a race. and if anyone ever told me "run fast", i would just have to laugh.
