If you see an old woman running (or in my case, lumbering along with an odd gait), don't try to high-five her and say "good for you!" Patronizing me is a form of harassment. I even had a young woman say, "are you okay?" LOOK, people, if I'm wearing running clothes and headphones and I'm not looking at you, leave me alone.
