Finally got my head back on straight and got back

Finally got my head back on straight and got back on it. Not the monument but it will have to do for a Thursday night. Stats: passed 29 people in 4 miles. 3 wore masks on their faces. 3 more wore masks as chinstraps. Of the maskless, 2 yielded me 6 feet off the sidewalk. The other 24, I either had to swerve into the street or, in places where there was no where else to go, had to step off the path and wait for them to pass, because they weren’t budging an inch. Such is #running these days. #RunFree #BreatheDeep #FinishStrong

As the morning progressed though, there were too many people not wearing masks—walkers, bikers, runners—and in an attempt to keep proper distance from a maskless couple, I stepped in a hole in the concrete and went down. An exchange about wearing masks ended with them laughing at me. While I was regaining my feet, a maskless runner passed too close, and when I said something to him he physically threatened me. This is too much and too hard. I love this sport and I need the activity, but every run is a contest with the selfish and the lazy, and, well, they win. It’s no fun anymore and it’s not safe on several levels. Shelving the shoes until mask rules are enforced, or until a vaccine is in wide deployment. Just not worth it otherwise. I can’t believe the attitudes in the country we used to call home.
