Dear Super athletic teenage girls,
I was enjoying one of those bucolic rides on the Centennial Trail yesterday. Perfect temperature, everything alive and blooming and then I got to the other side of Sullivan by the mall. I looked ahead of me this is what I saw: Going the same direction as myself a young family walking, coming towards me an elderly couple and then folks on a bike then then you three. I slowed down and looked and got off to the side. Everyone pretty much got out of your way because they had no choice as you barreled down the center of the trail as though you owned it and the rest of us needed to just get the hell out of your way and god forbid you lose your pace.
I admire and am a little bit jealous of your youth and athleticism .But here's the deal someday you have to go out into the world and paying attention to other humans on this planet will be part of what you need to survive. So next time you are busy challenging your body on a rigorous run feel free to notice the river, the flowers, the birds the squirrels, and oh yea the fellow travelers on this planet. oh and though I don't recommend this politically I do when I am driving, walking running, biking swimming, and skiing STAY TO THE *^(*& RIGHT SIDE.
Sincerely ,
Ms Crabby Pants
