He gave no explanation and is one of several people over the years who have had a problem with seeing me running clockwise on the track. I, like any runner, am very careful about leaving room in a lane for others, especially if the other person is doing a workout. It's just one of those things. After my first post, I remembered another guy threatening me while walking with his wife, spreading out to block the three inside lanes whenever I came around. Luckily, he did not make good on the threat.
I've been running for decades and have had many of the same experiences others have posted:
bottles and cups thrown from cars, cars skidding close to me, obscene rages because I was running in a heavy snow storm...........
