[QUOTE="Harmon, post: 3805357, member: 24357"] Back when I was jogging, I found myself jogging behind and catching a women that was jogging with half a pool que, not wanting to scare he I called- "passing on your right in about 30 seconds," or something like that. When I got to a point where I was about to pass her she turned and swung at my head! I caught the que in my hand, and wrenched it from her hand knocking her down (more by accident then anything else). She started yelling and I snarled at her- "that hurt," shaking my hand. "Next time just turn and say Hi, or slow and let me pass," I dropped the weapon and continued on my jog shaking my hand. I didn't run away, I jogged. She yelled some stuff at me and I kept on. A week later she saw me and did as I suggested- stopped and watched me pass. I nodded and said- "hello," she returned the gesture. We saw each other a few more times, but that was the extent of our interaction. My point is that you never know who you are running into while jogging, do not assume (not saying you did) that everyone is out to get you, some people are just out doing what you are doing (getting into better health). My suggestion- take a self defense course- they will teach you want to do and maybe even give you access to training with mace, or a tazer or something like that. Best of luck and keep up the jogging. :) [/QUOTE]
