[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a runner I am trying to give people I pass a wide berth. Sometimes you just can’t. I pass people chatting away walking 3 abreast. I pass kids stopped dead on the path. I pass people randomly stopping and taking pictures of cherry blossoms. The paths and sidewalks are crowded, and I have to watch out for speedy bikers.

What are you going to do if I run past you within less than 6 feet. Run to catch up and confront me? Not likely, and that’s an even bigger risk.

For those walking 3 abreast I usually suffice with shooting them dirty looks or a “what the hell” shoulder shrug as I pass them.

Same. I’m really aware of my surroundings as a runner and don’t listen to music or anything. [b]Far and away, the problem has been walkers or families who apparently never go for walks until there is a pandemic. [/b]They walk 3-4 abreast, their kids run all over the path and will stop dead in the middle, their dogs will cross to the other side on the leash creating a clothesline. But sure, it’s the runners who are the problem. [/quote]

+2 I think this is it.

I have been running the streets of NW DC for 20 years and I cannot figure out where all these walkers have been until now? Now that you're told to isolate, you go out? And the dirty looks I get, even as I get out of their way, is mind boggling. The onus is on everybody and not just the runners. OP, stay aware of your surroundings and be as courteous to others as you expect for your self.[/quote]
