Street-O @ Forest Chase

Actually felt like I was running tonight, although I started out with a really lousy route choice, and then I got lost within a maze of tiny streets. After about 2km, I sorted myself out, and it felt like I was running strongly. Not pushing it - just letting my legs pull me along.

On the way towards Control #2, I had several people - including a bunch of kids - tell me, "don't go to #2"... and, "he's about to hit somebody". Robyn got told that he was going to "put her away".

I decided not to go to #2.

Very occasionally we get neighbours that get unnecessarily agro at people running down "their" street. Normally you can just laugh it off and tell them to get a life, but this one sounded particularly unpleasant. Someone suggested calling the police - if this guy is intimidating mature-aged women and young kids, there's got to be something seriously unstuck upstairs.

Presentations for the Iceberg Series afterwards - no placing for me this time (not enough non-injured runs to get a decent score), but plenty of good food to be had.

Crazy. I thought only cyclists were targeted simply for being on their road. Never would have imagined runners would get bothered. Strange world. :)
