Run the race God set B4U
Any thoughts?
Also, what about people who show up with their dog and 5 friends to walk around the track and take up 4 of the lanes? Is this necessary? Especially when there is a 7000 acre reservation two minutes down the road with tons of paths, trails, etc. that makes for excellent walking routes.

Why do people do this? Is it to avoid injuring their feet or something?
Now, if there's only a few people on the track, it doesn't really affect anyone to do this... but with a track pakced with people, this just seems a bit inconsiderate to me. Any thoughts?

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

Why do people do this? Is it to avoid injuring their feet or something? There's this one guy at the track who switches direction every 2 laps or so. Its kind of annoying to me that I always have to pass him using the outside lane, but not a big deal at all. But last night, the track was more packed than usual (I counted 22 people walking, running or milling around when I left) and one lady who was running (pretty fast too) in the opposite direction from everyone else. Now, if there's only a few people on the track, it doesn't really affect anyone to do this... but with a track pakced with people, this just seems a bit inconsiderate to me. Any thoughts?

Unless the track has explicit directions saying which way to go, I see no problem w/ running opposite.
