I hate running with people

[radial]

I totally tried to do that this a.m. when he stopped to take a few walk breaks.  He totally caught up to me every time.

That fat beagle is slowing you down, girl!

You need to be direct with this guy.  This is getting weird.

It might be wise to switch your running time, or route, or something?

I know that your immediate response would be "Oh no! I'm not letting this creep make me change! I'm not gonna let him control me!"

But, with it getting lighter later [=staying darker longer], and since he showed you that yeah, he can catch you anytime he wants, maybe you should exercise a little extra caution

Do you run an out & back or a loop? If you run a loop, you could go the opposite way [clockwise vs. counterclockwise, for instance], so that when he runs with/chases you, you're running back into your neighborhood; where a nice large friendly man could meet you and perhaps escort the vapo-stalker back his own way?

Since you already know where the guy lives, perhaps some helpful local law enforcement could check things out for you? A quick public records search, perhaps?

So, instead of running from my house, I drove to the Y and ran from the parking lot.  Totally new route.  And I got chased and barked at my a dog. 

I really hate this guy now.

Hey Rando!!     Good to see you!!!!

Good plan.  I love driving places to run!  Beats running through the 2 miles of construction and lame utah traffic to get to the bike path.

I had a friend that I ran with a lot - we were pretty evenly matched - and I've run with MrsT, and that's gone ok. I do think its best to just do your own thing though.

Hey Rando!!     Good to see you!!!!

Thanks, babe

Just wanted to come over for half a sec to show my concern & support

Plus, it's the Running Forum, so I figured no one would see me here

See ya later

But we need you to give us the righteous indignation report from slowtwitch the next time someone gets 'punched' in a triathlon!

Yeah, I should probably go update the Mike Rossi thread

Yeah, I should probably go update the Mike Rossi thread

That thread was deleted. It became useless after the first month/20000 posts or so, with crazy talk by a bunch of conspiracy theorists and such. However there is a new one that appeared last month after Rossi was arrested on assault charges, apparently striking his wife in a domestic dispute. A real peach. But he promises to become a better man.

Good to see you and even though you hate us, nice that you dropped by.

Hahahahaha!

Thanks, but let's not make this about me. It's Sara's thread; I just popped over to show support & concern

The only thing that can defeat you is Haddonite.

It's always all about you!

VP, you can tell your sis that I've started running some with my pup to keep his weight in check.  He's 9 months and can go about 1.5 miles at a time.  He loves it!  Now he sleeps by the front door and waits for me in the mornings!

I bet he's really fat.
