You've touched on a very big thing when running indoors: The Lovebirds. They're TROUBLE, upper case, in all cases. They're the same folks who are in front of you at a movie believing they're intimacy is somehow relevant to the rest of us. I love your reference to running becoming a "contact sport." Outstanding! The next time I see a pair of them, I plan on approaching them as a 7-10 split at the bowling alley. Greetings Mike! You’ve touched on a very big thing when running indoors: The Lovebirds.

Great post! I run at our local gym sometimes, and I know about the "weaving in and out" business you speak of. Young couples like to get on the track and walk hand-in-hand, taking up the entire width of it. When this happens, running becomes a contact sport for me. I have a hard enough time running without dying... much less trying to weave in and out of the lovebirds. I have yet to encounter "Miss Purdy," though. You're far enough north, though, that I think I'm safe. :) HAHAHAHA!!!!!! Great post! I run at our local gym sometimes, and I know about the “weaving in and out” business you speak of.

Boy, do I hear you on "While I was first starting out, I didn’t want others to see me struggling so I got in the habit of going out in the evening or early morning while it was dark." That was my motivation in NOT joining a place like Lifetime Fitness. When I started, a workout "professional" I wasn't. I'm still not......but at least I can stay in front of Miss Purdy. :-) Hi territerri, thanks for stopping by!

What a great idea! There aren't any in my immediate vicinity, so I'm one of those loons you refer to. (Although, I must say I do NOT wear shorts. UnderArmour plus several layers for me, thanks.) The treadmill isn't appealing and I like the feeling of being outdoors and actually gaining ground as I go. I'm new to running. I just started late last summer. While I was first starting out, I didn't want others to see me struggling so I got in the habit of going out in the evening or early morning while it was dark. I have kept up that habit since. Yesterday I slept later than I had intended and was actually running in the daylight. There were no purpley attired senior citizens to contend with, but a large dog nearly yanked his owner's arm off as I passed them and he lunged toward me. Thankfully the owner kept a good grip on the leash. I promise if I ever run across you and your crew, I won't try to compete! (Not likely since I'm on the other side of the river.) My only goal is to simply make the distance I've set for myself without keeling over. And I pray I never encounter Miss Purdy! A bubble? What a great idea!
