You Ever Go For A Jog At Like 3 A.M.?

[Cory MBA]

Yes. I get up at 4:45 everyday. I stretch and then I start my 2 mile jog at 5am.

It is dark and quiet. You can see the constellations and I guess a planet or two.

It's best to leave your music off. So you can hear whats near you. I had to learn that.

Fitting link.

Yeah Yeah, reddit I know but I only know this because someone posted this thread before.

Basically cops complaining that people call them to essentially be professional bullies on their behalf. There is a common thread on who they call them for.

People, please stop making my job so difficult. • /r/ProtectAndServe

I got a call once about someone illegally fishing in a community pond. The complainant advised that they had lived there for years, and knew that the person fishing didn't live in the community.

Once I arrive, I see a middle aged black man fishing in the pond. He looks over when I pull up and immediately approaches me. He said, "Let me guess, my racist neighbors called again saying that I didn't live here."

"Yes, sir. That is what the caller said."

"Here's my license. I've lived here for 10 years, and they call on me every once and a while."

"I'm sorry to have bothered your fishing. Have a good day, and good luck with your horrible neighbors."

Don't want to derail your thread though. Just thought it would be an interesting share.

My mom goes on her walks at 3am daily and she sees the same shyt, except for the slow moving cars

But she does get the occasional ol Faye getting startled when seeing her , like she's not supposed to be out there that early yet she is herself

 

[MikelArteta]

Nah, where I live all the skunks come out in the dark

I might try this.

Thankfully I live in a mostly black and Mexican area, so I'm gucci on the profiling thing.

Tho I don't wanna be finding no bodies on my routine.

When I was thought I was training for a marathon and I had to do 17 miles, I started at like 2:30/3am and didn't have any issues. I wore a reflection vest so I wouldn't get run down by a car. Even for lesser miles I would head out no later than 4am.

I can't jog nor get up early so no.

I was in Miami some years back and took a walk on the beach at 430 before. That was one of the creepiest things Ive ever done in my life. Pitch black and not being able to see random people sitting or walking until their two feet away from you. And believe it or not there's mad people on the beach at that hour...shyt was like that I am Legend scene when Will was all around the zombies and shyt tryna keep calm.

Then seeing the sun creep out on the horizon with nothing obstructing it was strange and beautiful at the same time.

did it once couldn't sleep got to this part a town with no street lights.........bruh it was dark as HELL (was on the white side a town so i wasn't really tripping lol ) had other people out running you couldn't see them but you could hear them.

 

[Miggs]

Only if the jerk spot still open...So i basically call ahead before jogging...

 

[Another Man]

I live in the suburbs and jog often.

No, you will not catch my black ass out jogging at 3AM. Cacs and police hawk my ass when I jog out in daylight, let alone try to run at 3am

 

[25YOUTHS!!]

Gonna start soon... just need a 3m hoodie, or some shyt. Too dark, aint tryna get hit or profiled. Need some jogging attire

Old white people around here just throw a construction vest (the reflective plastic shyt) over whatever they're wearing.
Seems to get the job done, haven't hit any of em on my way home blazed yet

I jog home from work at like 3am sometimes.

I live in the city and its whatever.

But one night Im jogging and I see a gang of nerdy ass cacs on bicycles. Bout three of them. I don't think much of it keep jogging.

But I keep seeing these same cacs for like a mile. And theyre on bikes and Im on foot so they shouldaa been left me right?
So I stop running and start watching them. They take this turn that leads nowhere wait a couple minutes then come back around to try and get behind me I guess.

Pulled out my phone. Started recording with flash on. Asked them why the fukk they were following me. They scattered like rats.

Had a dog follow me home the other day too.

Threads like these makes me think I'd hate to live in the US. Sounds like most of you have got curfews.

Never know the joys of jogging around the block with no pedestrians, no cyclists, no cars, no noise
