Didn't think so.
I have literally seen NO runners using a mask. I have only seen three or four runners get too close on the trail, and I run four times a week for six miles at a time. The vast majority are practicing social distancing like I am. I happily run in the street to avoid people on the sidewalk. I hate sidewalks anyway. But asking me to stop running when there is no actual evidence that runners spread coronavirus is BS. I am already not going to work or sending my child to school or shopping normally or using the gym or eating out or seeing friends and family or doing ANY of my normal routine. I have changed everything. This is literally the last thing normal in my life. If you are so anxious you can't deal with someone passing you six feet away, you need to up your meds and stay home.
I agree with you so much!
Yes! I like this post. Don’t hate us, join us! You’ll feel so much better about all of this, trust me.
Me too. All this runner hate is too much! Are they mad we can eat ice cream and drink beer and stay thin?
Np to this convo. Anxiety + jealousy.
I don't have cootie anxiety, but I definitely used to make nasty judgemental about runners (before I became one). I didn't start running until my 30s and realized that after hard work and persistence... I too can run. Anybody and everybody can.
Don't be jealous. Work on your anxiety, and then lace up. And lacing up may also help with the former!
