Leslie Patton in her blog on WindyCitizen news provides us with that little reminder we all need after being inside all winter long. Check out her blog for more tips on running.
Running Etiquette
* Don’t take up the whole sidewalk or path. The Lake Shore path can be gridlock this time of year. Be mindful that faster people may be attempting to pass you.
* Don’t run more than two wide on the Lake Shore path (or any sidewalk). If it’s busy, single-file it!
* If you are running in the street (not recommended), run against traffic.
* Don’t litter. For the most part in Chicago there are trash cans every block.
* If you are running with a group, agree to meet at a certain place after the run should you become split up.
* If you are running with someone who is a little slower than you, don’t pressure them to speed up. Either allow them to set the pace or meet up later after separate workouts, perhaps for a cool down.
* Don’t complain about the workout to your partner or group.
* Look around before your spit.
* If running with someone else, try to work things out beforehand so you won’t have to make unnecessary stops – double knot your shoes, get dressed or undressed, go to the bathroom.
