Hey guys, let's all share some funny/scary/interesting stories about things that have happened while running! They do this on Runner'sworld.com but their discussion boards are kind of messy. I'll start:
One time I was running on this wide, beautiful trail through some woods near my house. It was a warm, sunny autumn day and I was taking it slow and enjoying the scenery. I started to hear this strange grunting noise and thought maybe it was a nearby animal. I got scared, but kept running at the same pace so as not to stop and startle anything. I really didn't know what to do! But the grunting got louder and I realized I was approaching it! I could have turned around and run back the way I came at that point, but frankly, I was curious. Then I saw what it was: this guy and this girl going at it in the woods! They saw me too. We all froze for a split second and then I just kept running!! : )

That's much better than running up on a bear!
1I must not be running long enough/far enough or frequent enough to chance upon a cool story...
Or maybe I just live in a really boring area.
I do remember running one time through a neighborhood by my work and noticing what appeared to be a 5 year old girl jogging on the other side of the street. Then later I noticed a 7 year old boy jogging. It wasn't until I reached the park that I saw their grandfather sitting on a bench with a bike. I later found out that he rides his bike next to them, urging them to run faster and makes them run miles each day. Apparently he's got some cross-country-stars in training! It's kind of funny to see children that young running like that.
