Or just dump a bottle of water on them. Perhaps that will make them think twice about messing with you. And to Tori- Honk at those kids, like really lay on the horn. The more attention is drawn to them the more likely they are to move. Carry a small squirt gun with you, and spray the crap out of them if they come near. Or just dump a bottle of water on them.

That would teach them a lesson - but also risk injury to yourself. Knowing me I would probably get out of the way and then turn around and ask if the kid was blind. The subway has made me mean, what can I say. I love Data's food bowl decor - where did you find them? Manny is in the market for some new stuff. Good work on the marathon training!

I can't stand putzes who think they have to prove their manhood like that. The kid with the basketball. I probably would have stopped dead in my tracks, looked him in the eye and said, "Excuse me, but have I done something to hurt you?" Then when he stutters a bit, I'd say, "Well, then, I'd appreciate you making way for me rather than trying to force me to break my leg." It's worked for me before.

But my kids wouldn't be doing it on purpose, so I guess it wouldn't be an issue. I get so frustrated when kids are mean/bad on purpose. My kids don't do that but a lot of kids in our neighborhood do. My house is at the back of a circle street so you can take two diffrent streets to get to it that are really the same street just with different names at the end and beginning (does that make sense?) I have to switch up my route depending on which side the kids on bikes in the middle of the street are on. They seriously don't move even when a car is coming. They sit in the middle of the road. They don't even move when a car is waiting, they just sit there and look at you with that look on their face...probably the same look you saw when running. Very frustrating! Especially frustrating when my kids don't understand WHY someone would do that and then sort of get picked on sometimes because they follow the rules and do the right thing.

If you know where they live, I'd report their a$$es ASAP. But as someone else mentioned, I'm not sure what good it would do, badly behaved children usually represent badly behaved parents. (Ok so the evil side of me wants to tell you to carry mace to protect yourself should you need to....) Seriously...you ran 29 miles in a week. How freaking awesome are you!!!! I have a camel back that I take on really long walks (no where near the distance you go) and hikes, and I personally love it. But since I'm not a runner, I'm not sure how great they would be for that purpose :D Call the non-emergency police number on the kids, the only issue is knowing where the kids live.

Being sweaty should be the least of your worries. That way, you can carry your water, plus an ID, money and a phone in case of emergency! As far as those kids go? Call the police. Seriously. YOU shouldn't be intimidated from running there. No matter what time of day it is. And if these are repeat offenders, my guess is your call is something other people have thought of doing. They deserve a little chat with the cops. If I ran places without water fountains, I’d definitely invest in a camelbak. Being sweaty should be the least of your worries.
