Hey everybody. IT'S ACTUALLY FRIDAY.
I went running last night, but I came home early. But I think I was totally justified in doing that, so let me explain:
There was recently a really aggravated rape/assault in my neighborhood. I went to the park where I usually run (about four blocks or so where that incident happened). Last night, it was unusually empty. There was absolutely no one there. I mean, NO ONE. There's usually quite a few people there, walking dogs, playing soccer, walking/jogging, etc. It was also kinda dark and stormy last night.
So after I had been running for about ten minutes, some people who kinda sketched me out showed up. I have reason to believe that they were doing sketchy stuff, and I didn't want to put myself in that situation.
SOOOO... all in all, I didn't run the whole run last night because I think I had reasonable evidence that I might be putting my personal safety in jeopardy. And we all know that personal safety comes first. So please don't punish me. I might have been overreacting, but I still think that I made the correct decision in not finishing my run.
OK, sorry for the super-long and wordy post. Hope everybody has a good weekend!! I think I'm going to run this weekend, but I'm going to change the time to avoid... future sketchiness.
