I Must Run Everywhere
I'm happy to introduce a new/old runner who is a prolific writer with a unique sense
of humor. Jim Johnson offered to republish a few of his articles from his blog, "I must Run Everywhere."

Three babes vs. me
Posted on   November 9, 2013

Though I regularly run with a couple running clubs, I enjoy my solitary runs. Stopping to admire scenery, thoughts I have while running, and spur of the moment route selection are nice. However, I experienced a major disruption on my last outing.

I was approaching an intersection, and I heard very loud laughing, a shriek, and excited, fast conversation. Into the intersection came three women runners. They were in their early to mid-30’s, in very good shape, and one was talking about something that was cracking up the other two. As they passed through the intersection, as loud as can be, I thought how extremely, intolerably, and profoundly rude they were. My pleasant, quiet run was in shambles. I stopped in the middle of the intersection and stared. They hadn’t even noticed me, and they were quickly moving on with no idea the disruption they caused. This was not right.

I took off after them. As I caught up, I recognized one. I talked to her briefly after a 10K race I did last month. “Girls,” I said firmly, “You’re much too loud. Three people in the last block were covering their ears and shaking fists at you, and I’m quite upset as well.”

“Are you serious?” One asked, looking back.

“Yes. Actually it was five people.”

The woman I talked to at the race smiled at me. “Hey, I met you at the Autumn Classic 10Kmedal   last month.”

I ran with them a few blocks and offered fair and lenient terms for their noise violations. However, as often happens when I attempt to administer truth and justice, they turned the table and said I was in the wrong. I had interrupted their conversation, gave false testimony, and ruined their day beyond repair.

In the end, Jessica, the one I’d met at the 10K, agreed to atone for the group by forfeiting the medal she’d won as overall women’s winner.

2 THOUGHTS ON “ THREE BABES VS. ME

  1. Matthew   on   November 9, 2013 at 4:36 pm   said: Edit

    Jim — I feel your pain but I’m glad to see that justice was served in this case. Everyone hates it when women are too loud and generally annoying. I emailed the race director, Jenny and explained the situation. She agreed that you are now the rightful women’s Newport champion. With this correction, you set the course record and Jenny agreed to make several large “welcome back Jim — defending women’s champion” signs that will be prominently displayed next year. You also earned a banner across main street. Congratulations! You are now a living legend in Newport. The universe did you wrong when it made you cross paths with those loud chicks but in the end a terrible injustice was atoned.

    • Matt, this has turned out better than I could have imagined. Thank-you for sending that email. I’m proudly telling people that I’m the overall women’s champion of the Newport Autumn Bloom 10K.
