One of the things they had noticed about him early on was how often he spoke about running. They assumed, quite naturally, although none of them knew for sure how accurately, that he talked about running more often than he actually went running. Still, even if you go running for a few miles, that's probably longer than actually talking about running, right? Then, I invite you, if that's your belief, to listen to him on the many occasions in which he expounds upon the virtues of different types of socks, the relative weather conditions in each of the races he's ever participated in, and if you can believe him, and why not, but why so, there are a lot. There was a general belief that he might be a pretty good runner, if in fact, he ever did run. Or, maybe he never did run, but he would be good if he tried. They generally try to have positive feelings about each other, as a group, because collectively, their Collective Consciousness must be pushing them in some direction or the other, right? At some point they had decided this in an actual factual conversation. That is to say, they agreed to be supportive of each other, no matter the situation. Sure, if one of them had murdered someone, maybe they wouldn't be supportive of that. But luckily, that was still only a hypothetical concern, as far as anyone knew.
