So I’m a walker, 5+/- miles per day around the neighborhood. From time to time I pass by new people that show up & get into it for a while, typically they fade away after a couple weeks or so. The latest contestant is a woman, I’d guestimate mid-late 30s, sizeable, walks with a purpose, but here’s the rub, she holds her phone down & to the left at about waist level and stares at it, appears as though she’s looking at the ground, and when I say stares at her phone I mean she will not break eye contact with it OR her stride. I’ve watched her do multiple laps without ever looking up; she could literally be walking towards a Bengal tiger licking its chops & she wouldn’t notice it until she bumped into its teeth. I live on a ½ mile circle with very little traffic so it’s a great loop to do laps on uninterrupted which is why I suspect she comes here to walk. We walk the circle in opposite directions so when I see her coming I’ll jump to the other side of the street to avoid being plowed over (she probably has 50lbs on me), I’ve almost suffered that fate a few times. I just want to say get your head out of your ass lady, I suspect one day that will happen if she sticks with it.
