I haven't been running on the local trail much because it was giving me weird toe pain/cramps and yesterday I decided to give it a go again. The run itself was great, I had no toe pain and it didn't seem to aggravate the knee pain I have been having and to top it off it gave me a great story for my blog.
So I am running on the trail and I hear a car coming up behind me like they occasionally do since it is used by the DPW and local residents. However, unlike when they usually just drive by and wave, this guy slows down and rolls down his window. Needless to say I have my headphones on blaring and I'm running at a decent clip like 7:00, so I take my headphone off and try my best to ask him what's up in between breaths. On a side note, the only reason I ever have an urge to run with anyone else is to see if I can actually hold a conversation at my easy pace since supposedly that can improve fitness. As I am running the guy tells me he is lost, mind you this is a one lane dirt trail with only one entrance and exit and its only about a mile long.
In my head I'm thinking, is this guy a freaking moron or what. I refuse to slow down or stop to talk so I keep running and give the guy directions on how to get out to Rt. 117 and as he is driving off I see what appears to be a camera mounted to the dash with a red record light on.
In addition, to not being able to find his way out of a paper bag, this guy was creating a record of his stupidity. Makes me wonder what the heck he was filming for...
Or he was looking to adbuct you so that he can video the whole ordeal
ReplyDeleteLOL Probably, good thing I was faster than his crappy Jetta...
