I always do my road work in my neighborhood. I usaully run 3.2 miles, (5k). The local YMCA has thier annual 5K run in my neighborhood every year, it goes past my house, so I just run that route and use my front door as the start/finish line. I always get mixed responses.
I'm 6'3", usually between 222-227 pounds, short hair, and I have "only the good..." tattood in wild west style letters on my left biceps. In a suit and tie, I look very much like the responsible 26 year old insurance agent I am. I will admit however that if you see me running down your block in Adidas pants with no shirt on, I look pretty much like a gang member and you'd expect the police to be following shortly behind. Needless to say I get a lot of scared and/or dissapproving looks from the many senior citizens in my neighborhood.
I'm in pretty good shape, so I get a lot of whistles from 16 year old girls and desparate housewives. Girls my age just typically kind of smile. If they're hot I might stop and talk to them.
I have a lot of neighbors that know I've been fighting for years, (though not boxing competitively anymore, just working out at my local MMA gym). They always yell, "when's you're next fight? I'll be there". It's kind of like Rocky, except for the fact that these people wouldn't walk down the block to watch G-Man v. prime Hearns, much less go see me fight.
