We’ll stick with last week’s theme on joggers. I have no problem with joggers whatsoever, hell I jog myself, however, why on earth some of these jackasses choose to jog down Spring Garden Road, on a Saturday, on a warm day, at 3 pm, is fucking beyond anything I can possibly fathom. Do you actually set out and plan your route and think, yeah, Spring Garden, probably won’t be many people around! Oh my god the thought of it just makes my cringe. Can you not find a random side street or neighbourhood for your escapade, or, would you rather the thousands of people on Spring Garden just keep on laughing at your attempts, to dodge people, and cars, and dogs, and fire hydrants and shop doors? Idiots. If you want to be seen, ask Tim Hortons to post your picture in the window and you can get back to being a normal person, you know, like people who jog on the least busiest street in the city.

What pisses me off royally is when two of them are jogging side by side down a busy street, then glare at you for not accommodating them. Spring Garden Road is not your personal track, dumbasses.
I can’t stand joggers on Spring Garden Road. Obviously they just want to be seen. And they don’t actually have to work too hard – they constantly have to slow down to dodge people, dogs, doors, etc.
I refuse to give way to anyone walkingrunning side-by-side on the sidewalk. If I get a glare for it I put some shoulder into not giving ground and see what they want to do about it. I love it when they have no answer to “I have just as much right to use the sidewalk as you loser, how about showing some fucking decency and respect to a fellow tax-payer”The sidewalk is just like the street, stick to the right and STFU about your self-entitlement, lest you get your ass hauled out.
Anybody that decides to run/jog down the (dare I say it) busiest sidewalk east of Montreal is a fucking dumbass. They know its the fucking busiest, but ‘hey look at me in my matching north face/sugoi/lululemon get up and 8 mini bottles jiggling around my waist…LOOK AT ME!!!!!”It probably doesn’t help that their ‘pusher’ is located on SGR, but fuck, you’d think the business would arrange for a less congested meeting place for their run of the week run. Idiots.
Most of these joggers are face painted lulu lemon clones wearing skimpy sports bras and short shorts. We can see that you are attractive, we can see that you work out. We do not need to dodge out of the way of your bouncing breasts just because you want that greasy rich guy to buy you more juicy gym clothes. You look as stupid as you have to be to run on Spring.
So lame. I’ve already declared war on lululemon. I’ve never actually tried their products but I HATE HATE HATE them. Under Armor is a great product, and I don’t feel like some stupid clone when I wear it. People who exercise with makeup on should be spanked. It’s dumb, and so bad for your skin.
Why would you declare war on a product you’ve never tried? Sure all the airhead girls in my gym might be wearing Lululemon, but all the muscle-bound apes are wearing Under Armour. What’s the difference?
Rest assured that those dedicated bozos are fucking up their knees big time. I jogged for 30 years and my knees are now so bad, I have to use a cane. You can’t pound on pavement for decades and not expect some payback. I got mine, now I’ll watch them get theirs.
Another reason why i dont run outside.. jump on a treadmill and noone gets in your way!lululemon pants.. looks excellent and are actually slimming on ANY body size or shape a size 4 or 14.. They are made of excellent quality.. like my guy friend says.. ” a grandmothers ass would even look good in those pants”
A lot of this could be prevented if HRM had done proper urban planning back in the day and put in significant stretches of green space within the city and put good bike/walking paths throughout them. All of these bitches about bikers/jogger/etc could be avoided if the city actually had a designated place for them.
I don’t think joggers or runners necessarily need designated running tracks/paths. I think it’s only common sense to avoid the busiest pedestrian street in the Maritimes. It’s not a problem on other streets.
La dee —–there is not one maintained track in this city. There are some that are able to be used, but are about to be pooched due to neglect. It is a shame that people here have spent so much time worrying about heritage that building extended jogging trails would be impossible. Red tape would prevent jogging paths from coming up…. someone will complain they dont want it in their area
Because I hate the overzealous fanatical freak show that is every woman I know who uses lululemon. I’m sure there are moderate lululemon users, or maybe they just haven’t succumbed to the effects of lululemon yet. Like crack, I don’t have to use it to hate the effect it has on people.And Under Armor might have a loyal following, but it’s nowhere near as hyped up as lululemon.
La dee, “no stretches ofd green space”? Jog 2 blocks north from SGR and there is all the damn green space you need, called the Commons. Or head south to PPP. Cripes, you want a strip of grass down the center of SGR for these loonies to run on? There’s nothing like blaming the govt for people’s stupidity.
the commons doesnt really have any set out jogging area. It just a bunch of paths that go every which way. There is no 7-10 km joggin parks anywhere.
Have you ever been on the lululemon web page? Its a fucking gagfest. But man, they know their market and know how to make them slide those cards…
This is so funny, I had to comment, I just can’t stop laughing :)I honestly thought I was the only one that thought this way, but I was SO wrong lol lol.Too funny!
After reading all the comments, and I really don’t recall hearing of lululemon before, I had to check out the website. Here are some tidbits from the manifesto … wow Children are the orgasm of life. Just like you did not know what an orgasm was before you had one, nature does not let you know how great children are until you have them. (HUH? Define nature)Creativity is maximized when you’re living in the moment. (Hmm maybe they are living in the moment when they decide to venture down Spring Garden for one of their “jogs” – why think ahead…)Nature wants us to be mediocre because we have a greater chance to survive and reproduce. Mediocre is as close to the bottom as it is to the top, and will give you a lousy life. Lulu** athletica creates components for people to live longer, healthier and more fun lives. If we can produce products to keep people active and stress-free, we believe the world will become a much better place. (yeah better for the people who make this crap cause they are making lots of $$ from the posers who buy it) The pursuit of happiness is the source of all unhappiness. (so trying to be happy makes us unhappy – wha? on the same page they are telling you to set goals! oh yeah what about the mediocore/lousy life spiel a few lines up) oh yeah the clothes on the site – ugly
i have no problem with joggers myself, but have a pretty rigid rule about personal space. when you see them coming, try this military trick. put your hands in pocket, deep down. cock the elbows outward and lock them. wait for the impact.blink innocently and with a measured voice if reproached caution them of further commentary. most of them are gay fucks anyway. after all, while standing their pulse rate is dropping as their check of the 20 dollar pulse watch will advise them and which they will demonstrate with passion. if they do intend to make a point of it, they are underweight , tired and wimped anyway.better to act the part than have their ass kicked on SG road in front of the jogging possie pussy.
LMAOAnd remember right before Christmas they were claiming there was some kind of kelp in the clothes, therefore the clothes were GOOD for your skin, then it was mythbusted or something and their stock went into a tailspin? I don’t care if their pants promise to make my ass look like a beautiful, round peach, I won’t even go in that store. Fucking weird cult.
