A few pet peeves:
- People with dogs on retractable leashes with their dogs on the other side of the trails - AH! Your dog should be right next to you, no one should have to attempt to step over the leash!
- People who are doused in perfume/cologne - it just makes me gag when I run by and smell your musky or floral overwhelming scent!
- People carrying their pet - seriously. I see this way too much. Generally it's girls who do this. They carry their pets on their hip like a child. I really shouldn't care but I find them really annoying.
Anyway, it's really great that so many people are active so I can overlook my personal issues and keep on running.
Update...
Bikes:
- I love it when bicyclists give a heads-up on passing. There are so many people/noises you can't always hear a high-speed biker approaching. Wish everyone did it.
- Parents teaching their kids to ride bikes - it is way too busy on the Katy Trail for this is be safe.
I've had pretty good luck on the trails. I usually only run on the wide path when I have to, like north of Blackburn where it's the only option, and get irritated when the stroller moms are side-by-side and taking up 3/4 of the width of the trail. I get nervous swinging that far out to pass.

You do know a girl got killed on the trail. She was running and was hit by a bicyclist...
ReplyDeleteBe careful!
If you're doing a longer run and have at least 1 other person with you go to White Rock!!
