Do people social distance when you go for a jog? ?

I go jogging and there aren't many people out but the few people I do pass are not 6 feet away. But I am passing by them so fast there is no chance I would catch anything.

Most people move to the side anyway

I live on a waterfront with dedicated bike and pedestrian lanes. Both are pretty empty these days but, yes, everyone is distancing on the path.

In the regular street with other, non-excercising people? Not so much 🙅🏿‍♀️

I don't run, but I road ride and trail ride on my mountain bike. I've been avoiding most of the multi use paths and trails in Albuquerque, especially those that run along the river through the city as they are usually pretty busy and I'm not going to be surprised at all if the city doesn't close them since people don't seem to be getting the hint.

I've mostly been riding on either one of the two primary roads through our village or along the acequia trails that run through our village. I might see 5 or 6 people in total on an hour long ride. I live in a semi rural village outside of Albuquerque and a lot of social distancing is built into the cake...everyone is on at least one acre of property and total population is around 8,500.

We're pretty much avoiding the city as much as possible, though I do have to cross the village/city line to get to Costco or the regular grocery store.

I had trouble last Tuesday and was having to run into the street to avoid some people, but since then people seem to have figured it out better and are social distancing whether walking or running. The biggest issue is kids.

Must be the chainsaw I carry.

"Foo foo" eh? I thought only my Jamaican grandmother used this phrase as an alternative for "crazy" (which is also French which I find another level of odd as she doesn't speak it and perhaps you don't either).

I need your entire lingustic history, if you please. Perhaps we can all get together for a run, chainsaws and all when this is THING is said and done with!

I run in my neighbourhood, usually on cycling paths in the evening. If there really is a cyclist I step on the sidewalk, which is empty as well. I do prefer the cycle paths as the surface is smoother and there's no up and down from lowered kerbs and edges when crossing streets (hypermobile ankles)

I'm glad I'm not the only idiot still out there.

Most people move to the other side of the path I walk down, some pass by me too close for comfort. I have to stick to certain sides of the road/street when walking because of a balance problem but I'll veer off into the street to avoid people if I have to. I'm already used to doing that when I see a dog coming anyway.

I'm in a suburb. My big concession is that I'm not running around my local reservoir, which has an ~8' path around it and lots of people. The advantage has been that I'm running on the grade more, which has been helping my fitness overall.

I'm lucky that there are, even when things are "normal", very few people using the recreational paths at 6AM but I have noticed quite a few people using them in the early evening and many of them seem oblivious to maintaining anything close to 6 foot spacing. I may just delay bike commuting this year as I don't want to be riding through large numbers of people.

I have had no issues with people and I have stuck to the distancing rules as well. I'm very careful because I have asthma but then I only go out for jogging and shopping and thats it. I very rarely see anybody anyway.
