urban runner

with the new home, i have become an urban runner. it's pretty annoying to be stopped at stoplights, but just .7 miles away is an urban trail. it's perfect. and when i got to the trail and was confused about where to go, a nice runner came by and told me what i needed to know. one way goes 1.5 miles, the other goes forever...i chose the 1.5 mile route, but had to turn around at the sleeping people under the bridge. it was still a good 3.5 mile run. next time i'll try the direction that goes forever...

anyone know the etiquette on running by sleeping peeps? i assume i should avoid them and let them slumber...
