Last night I was running a fartlek (just typing the word makes me giggle) run.  I was running as fast as I could to the end of the block.  Coming towards me on the path, were a group of young people, plugged in with their noses in their phones.  I realised they weren’t going to see me so I started yelling and clapping my hands as I raced toward them.

They didn’t look up.  I yelled louder.  I was going to reach them in seconds.  It was at this moment I knew I had two choices.  I could either slow down and ruin my interval or I could just run straight through them.  I chose to complete the interval.

I don’t think anyone got hurt, but to be honest, I didn’t look back to check.
