running down the street

[Kire]

So as you might have been following, I have been taking public transit as my main way of getting to and from work now. I have also found out that running to work instead of waiting for the bus is faster...only a 10 minute run instead of a 15 minute bus ride (I run frequently this is no biggie).

Here's the thing though. I'm wearing regular clothes and running down the street...it's a nice part of the city mind you, but I do realize how "weird" this is. Should I not care about turning a few heads on a regular basis, or should I cut this out?

Put on jogging clothes, meng. Especially if you're working up a sweat!

Says you. I've traded pokemon with strangers on the bus, and gotten in Mario Kart races.

Are you the man on the bus that mothers clutch their children from?

I've only played mario kart once with a kid on the bus, he begged me to let him play it, so we did the download play thing.

I've had races with random teens and adults, and helped the most ghetto looking guy I've ever seen trade-evolve some pokemon.

You must live in Shangri-La or something, cuz in NOO YAWK you get drunks, stuffy business men and crazy witch people. No one wants to play DS with me -- they want to burp in my face or puke in my lap.

Wear jogging clothes over your regular clothes.

I'd say keep it up. I like seeing people doing strange stuff. It makes life more interesting.

If you worry that running looks weird, try skipping down the street flinging your arms out at your sides and flapping them.

Nobody would notice you that way...

Re: running down the street

I run everywhere, man. All the time. Mostly. Any place I can get to within walking distance is ideal to run to, I feel. Of course I don't have the endurance to run more than a couple minutes, but if you can run down to work, do it.

As for people turning their heads - 'tis the cost of efficiency and good health. Pay them no heed, the silly slow-walkers.
