Oh yes I do! I like running in North Park, about 30 minutes north of Pittsburgh. It's always a bit disconcerting during hunting season. When you're running 15-16 miles you can get pretty far out of the "civilized" area (at least if you want to run on roads where the hunters in the bushes present less of a danger than the *ssholes on the road). You keep telling yourself "I'm wearing brightly colored clothing and running on the road, where it would be stupid for anyone to shoot, even if they did think I was a deer", but it doesn't make you feel any better when you hear a shot in the distance! -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
