I don't care if these moos work out with their strollers and baybees (geez - can't they get away from their kids 30 minutes to work out alone and HAVE SOME TIME TO THEMSELVES?!!), as long as they STAY AWAY FROM ME.
I'm a runner, and I run several 5K races a year. I'm about ready to quit the 5Ks and start training for longer races, like 10Ks, because I am so tired of the moos with baybees in strollers being in races.
Some of them try to push their way to the front of the starting line, even though race officials repeatedly tell them to GO BACK and let the true runners, like me, be at the front so we can get good starts without having to dodge a stroller. Then, during a race, I always seem to have some running moo with a stroller coming up behind me, and more than once, I've come close to being rammed in the back of my legs.
The stroller Moo will say, "You need to let me pass." I, and some of the other runners who feel as I do, have said, "This is a race - we don't have to let you pass. Get that damn stroller away from us!"
I'm also tired of seeing red-faced, crying babies after their moos have run 3.1 miles while pushing them in their strollers. The babies obviously don't seem to be having fun - so WHY do the moos insist on taking them with them on the race courses? Can't the kids' fathers just stay on the sidelines with the kids while the moos race?
I've sent feedback to race officials about this, asking for strollers to be banned. But I know of only a few races that have banned them. One of these few is a race for dog rescue groups, and people can take their dogs on the course with them. I'd much rather run with dog owners than stroller moos because I've noticed that the dog owners are much more thoughtful of other race participants.
So I think running a 10K may help me avoid stroller moos. I hope that nobody is so stupid that they take a baby in stroller on a 6.2 mile run.
Oh, and don't get me started on the stroller moos who hog the running/walking trails near my house, where I love to run. These moos will walk side-by-side, gabbing, and tend not to move aside to let solo runners and walkers by unless asked. They act as if they own the trail.
