I was out on my run, which I do everyday on the same route- a narrow, windy woodland path which is usually deserted- until today I never saw anyone else there at all. Today, I spotted some people in the distance, and assumed it was a family group, so ran back about 100m to find somewhere so I could keep 2m from them.
4 teenagers went past with a dog- a boy and 3 girls all looking about 15. We live in a tiny village and I’m sure would have heard if there were quadruplets in the 400 or so people living here. The dog pulled near me, stopped and did a huge, wet poo. I tried to move away, stating that I’m allergic to dogs. They didn’t clear up the poo, and as I ran through the path, I saw other dog dirt. Yesterday there was none, except deer poo which I know from having to remove it from my lawn! I’m really angry that up to 4 families were stupid enough to let their kids do this, especially as we are 40 minutes from a hospital. If I asked in the village, I could probably find out who they were- would you speak to someone/111? Sorry if I am overreacting, I am asthmatic and so are some of my children so we’re very worried. My run is my treat everyday.
