Run to the marathon and back home if you need to get up early and punish yourself.

I've never understood "running" for fun or exercise.

Sure you're fit and have great coordination and low body fat, but really you're just showing off.

And those guys that run in place at an intersection or backward need to keep it in their pants more.

Not at the expense of shutting down essentially every major road in the district for half a day

I think you need to separate the feelings that it apparently generates for you to see people running, from the actual reasons they are running. I guarantee they are not going out to exercise to show off for you or anyone else.

When I pass /u/cnote5 while I'm running I definitely go out of my way to put an extra bounce in my step to make sure my glutes get fully engaged, lol..

What a r/iamTheMainCharacter/ type comment at start of this thread..

Not angry at the runners, I just don't get it.

I took a bikeshare there and dropped it off at Freedom Plaza. Faster than driving.

No doubt. I used to love riding my bike when I lived in the district.
