Dear group of 50+ Dalhousie athletes who ran on the sidewalk of South Street on Monday night: my face still hurts from when no less than three of you smacked directly into me. Your coaches should look into more appropriate routes when running in such a large pack, or else coach you further on how to not run into people. Please look ahead and give yourself enough room between runners to avoid pedestrians. My nose really hurts!

What I am wondering is how you let ” 50 + ” people coming towards you on the sidewalk get close enough to smack you in the face. I agree they should be giving space to pedestrians in front of them but at some point before they got close enough to hit you , you would think you would have been able to stop yourself from getting run down .But I wasn’t there so who knows .
I would have got out of the way.
