Do any of you regularly RUN IN GRAVEYARDS?

No. It is extremely disrespectful.

This is a great idea. Tiptoe through the tombstones with me. Now if by chance you end up dying somehow, they can just leave you there. But please be safe. I have heard stories…

I agree with this to a certain extent. Only outlier I’ve thought of is the running trail through the cemetery in Eugene. Pretty common for people to jaunt through, I ran through it while at the trials

Hmmm...it looks like my memory DID NOT fully serve me right. I made up some of his reasons, but he did in run in cemeteries.

Just on the driveways. Never in the grass

Really? It's not like I'm out there smoking a bong and pissing on people's graves. I'm running easy while meditating. I think it is a very respectful thing to do.

Would you have told that to Ed Whitlock's face, that he was being disrespectful?

I did on occasion in college. Mostly at night. One time they put up a wire fence around a section they had sodded that was all but invisible in the dark (fortunately not barbed wire). It knocked me flat and left a stripe across my chest. Needless to say, I was more careful in the future.

I also occasionally ran in a cemetery until there was this one ghost who started getting in front of me on my runs. Like I could see he was doing probably 7 minute miles before I started up and then when I was there I was probably cruising 6:30 pace and then the ghost had to do 6:27 or so just to be in front of me. So one day challenged him to a race and I never saw him again.

You should have told everyone that a skeleton's hand reached up out of the ground and grabbed your ankle, making you trip and be knocked flat, leaving this stripe across your chest. Spoooooky story. It would have gotten you laid.

Once I was running through Sunset Memorial Park in Coos Bay when I heard this voice say to me, "The best pace is suicide pace, and today looks like a good day to die!"

I've run in cemeteries frequently. It's not disrespectful IMO. Word of caution, some cenetaries are privately owned and running there could be considered trespassing.

If I end up buried in the local cemetery, I would love it if my running friends regularly ran by my grave. Better still, my headstone could be the starting point for mile repeats through the cemetery or a place to set out water bottles during long runs.

Might have been me. I'm pretty pale and in college I ran a lot with my shirt off for the ladies.

I live in the nethers of our local graveyard, and at midnight when the commonfolk are nigh asleep and the wolves start howling, I rise and run around the graveyard.. tip tap tip tap tip tap…

+ steeple practice over headstones

In high school I had an uncle tell me it was disrespectful to run in the cemetery. My grandma said something along the lines of, “Oh, You’re more than welcome to run in the cemetery after I pass. I’d love the visitors and it makes me happy seeing you do things you enjoy!”

I knew a family that lost their mom and the dad and kids would have a picnic/barbecue a couple times a year by her grave (Mother’s Day and her b-day at least) Anyway, be aware of/respectful to people mourning the loss of their families but otherwise enjoy.

No, it's too creepy to be hanging out there running or doing anything else.

Imagine getting heckled by ghosts. Booooooooo nice shortie shorts faaaaaagot!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaa are you running from death? Don't flatter yourself, he doesn't want your lame aaaaaassssss.
