Pet Peeves about running on the beach.
 

So I run usually 5-6 times a week, and I recently moved to White Rock Beach. Kind of a small town just outside Vancouver, basically a suburb. There's a 2.2 km boardwalk along the beach, so I run that, a few times, as part of my run.

The following things bother me, so please don't do them.

1) Fat chicks, usually eating Fish and Chips, sitting at a table, dripping grease and stewing in their own rancid sweat who insist on smiling and waving. What part of me running in the hot fucking sun and being chiseled out of stone gives you the idea I'm interested in fat, disgusting, lazy eat creatures? I mean, I don't go after super models, and really, I'm out of your league by just as large of a gap. Please, just avert your eyes or I'm probably going to be mean to you. Not fair to blame me for it, either.

2) Little fucking dogs. If your little fucking rat looking dog is yipping at my heals, it's not cute it's fucking annoying. Don't look all shocked when I give the little fucker a kick. There's leash laws for a reason, bitch. And no your husband isn't going to make me apologize either. He's already thinking of ways to get his ass out of this.

3) Fat people walking side by side across the entire boardwalk. If cumulatively you and your partner are wider than the path, have the common fucking decency to waddle single file. Pretend you're 747s on a hot dog runway or something. One after the other.

God I fucking hate people sometimes.

lol sounds like a bad morning?

Sounds like theres a fat epedemic in that town, why did you move there?

They are probably Americans that moved into his area.

I can't stand it when I go to the beach and have to see sweaty joggers while I am having a picnic with my dog.

That's what gyms and tracks are for. :1orglaugh

It isn't even legal to have dogs on the beach, city by law.

Now pipe down, hippie.

Runners are wild animals. Joggers are runners that have been domesticated.

My only problem are runners who don't know runner courtesy rules. We're not in England. RUN ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FUCKING PATH YOU CUNT!

I play chicken with assholes like that. And I won't move - I'm a LOT bigger than them. :)

PS I eat my fish and chips WHILE running

cow tippin

Oh the Rock

Here Comes A Bikini Whale!!!!!!!1

Why don't you take your shoes off and run in the surf?

Too many Polar Bears in the way?

Haha sorry but its kinda funny that you get so mad over something kinda dumb

llol reasons why i live 15 minutes away and just prefer my own pool

Man, do you have a blog?

If not, start one.

Time to move. Place has gone to SHIT.

This thread is just hilarious

Run on the beach instead of the boardwalk... it's better for you anyhow.

Good rant. Humorous and true. I approve :thumbsup

Are you kidding me? Polar Bears aren't stupid, they don't want any part of a machine like me. :pimp

LOL :)
What I hate the most is people crossing the path without looking, especially on the bike path it seems perfectly normal. I had so many near accidents. And then they look at you like "Where the fuck did you come from and why do you slam on the brakes so hard!"

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Man, I do that all the time, you have no idea how many kids bump into you and adults just stand around laughing, it's a circus there as well

Since we are on this subject, does anyone have a recommendation for a beach running shoe?

I've tried a bunch of different high end shoes, including New Balance ... My favorite by far are Asics Gel. They're nice and light, supportive and hold up well.

You moved? No more Langley?

Thank fucking god no more Langley.

Yeah Asics is one of the best running shoes brands. I only run in those as they fit my foot very well.

What I'm looking for now is a specific shoe to run on the beach (in the water), so they have to be able to get wet a lot. I know there are some specific shoes for that.

On a side note, I get pissed by the people who jog down a busy street full of pedestrians and say "excuse me...move" when they are coming up from behind and then hit you. Fuck that...go run somewhere less crowed like a path or something like that. there are loads of them everywhere in toronto yet these idiots would rather run through yorkville.

sweetie, you really need to have a Zen moment... breath deeply... exhale...

maybe you should take up rowing?

assuming there are no fatties or puppies rowing in your way

when are we going for a swim?
