I had a run-in while running this morning.

June 26, 2009

Soo I woke up this morning and decided to go for a run since it wasn’t raining and I plan to skip yoga today. I went (what is becoming) my usual morning route. About 1.5 miles into the run, I ran into a group of teenagers. First of all, what were they doing out at 5:45 AM?? They were not in my direct path but one placed himself right in front of me. I said excuse me as I was nearing him but he wouldn’t move and started running toward me. I stopped and said "that is really rude" and he put his arm around me. I screamed for him to get off of me and pushed him away and then crossed the street and kept running. AHHH. Who raised these kids?? I was upset/annoyed the rest of the way.

I was on a main street with lots of cars (for 5:45 am) and people waiting a bus stop about 10 feet away so I wasn’t really in danger but COME ON.

In conclusion, I’ve decided that I should carry my pepper spray with me during morning runs and possibly runs along the jail trail because there aren’t usually too many people around. Either that or I need a body guard.

Alright, done with my angry rant. It IS Friday and I’m not going to dwell. I’m blogging via email so no Garmin picture this morning but I ran about 3.2 miles in about 27-28 minutes.

Have a good day!
