Running up a storm

Runners.Some live for it, some say it’s the freedom of the road, some say it’s the wind in their hair, whatever the reason, we see many many runners frequenting our communities roads.

So with that in mind, what would a runner take with them on the road – a tazer, a cell phone, a backpack or a water bottle – well what about some tissues.Please runners this is a plea from a very disgruntled member of the community.

I know in some cultures blowing your nose onto the pavement was done because of not having anything else, but we are living in the 21st Century, we have tissues and they can be tucked into your running shorts, blouse, T-shirt, wherever you please – very easily.

I love working in my garden and on a Wednesday evening when I am watering my garden, I absolutely cringe when I see the runners coming. Why do you have to clear your nasal passages on the pavement? It is disgusting!

Please think about it, or perhaps when you see the hosepipe aimed in your direction you will then seriously think about it. Oh yes and now that is not an excuse to drop your tissues wherever!
