What Sidewalk?

I recently moved to The Villages, Florida (well around there). Here, they're motto is that it is America's friendliest hometown...

I am running one afternoon recently with my husband, we usually try to run against the traffic of golf carts, and bikers on the path for various reasons. One being that they can see us, and two so that we are not running in the street.  Now, the pathways are listed as multimodality pathways...meaning they are not just golf cart paths! JR and I try to run as close to the curb as we can, if we can we will yield to the golf carts and hit the grass where possible. But being as the Villages like to have manicured lawns and medians...there isn't always room for us to do so.

So we are running one day and a golf cart passes, very fast, and as close as he could get to us and shouts..."on the sidewalk," shaking his fists.  My first reaction was like..."what sidewalk?" There isn't a sidewalk, only these pathways. They are made for walkers, bikers, runners, and golf carts...not just golf carts. Share the road jerk!  So many times we get "good for you" thumbs up and what not while we are running, so much encouragement comes for us during runs on normal days...but this guy was irratated that I was running on his cart path and not in the road with the cars....get off your high horse buddy!


JR and I also got lights for running at night. They have been well received!

And...one week from now I will be done with my half...I am only planning two runs this week...wish me luck!
