Or maybe I'm just getting older and frumpy enough that there's not much to look at anymore!<BR/><BR/>During the winter I've mostly switched to mostly exercising indoors, or in places where I already know everyone. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately my sacred yoga class was invaded by a new person this week, and she spent the entire class staring at me. Probably just to see what to do next, but I hate the distraction of knowing you're being watched. Even if it's totally harmless, it can wreck your focus. <BR/><BR/>Keep running, just stay safe.Ms.PhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06542602867472447035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379865093971047359.post-37541270095835774102008-02-09T14:13:00.000-08:002008-02-09T14:13:00.000-08:00Harassment/intimidation is a big issue for me.

I've never really felt that ...that's really crappy. I've never really felt that running but during almost every (women's) rugby practice some guy in a car would drive by and scream out the window or honk. However that was a group situation and just pissed me off, didn't really threaten me.<BR/>On a side note. Have you thought about a jogging stroller so Bean could go with you? Maybe not on cold and raining nights but at least on the week-end runs.<BR/>I'm also pathetically trying to get back into runing. I had my 3.5 mile loop down good (not great. I think about 45mins but I was afraid to time myself) and then the snow hit. I don't love running enough to go in the snow, or below freezing weather.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986787458979351622noreply@blogger.com
