Running with the Devil

By: Brie Cadman (View Profile)

I never wanted to see a penis on my afternoon run. But I did and have managed to reclaim that section of the Fire Trail over and over and over again. I run it alone, trying to confront my fears and disprove my over active imagination. These are my trails and fear has only made me faster.

It's happened to me, too, and I've been told that it's our reaction that gets them off the most. If we can learn to not react, but get quickly to our own safety, that is the best thing for us. Hard to do, though.

BRAVO! I applaud you for facing your fears! It takes a whole lot of stamina and guts to go back out there after you had an experience such as that! I don't know whether I could do it had it been me! But, I do know that GOD gives us things that He knows we can handle; no more, no less! You're definately one to be commended for your BRAVERY!

You really captured the after-effects of such an incident. Similar thing also happened to me in Miami, Fl. I was in downtown, and in a strange moment, when everything seemed to go still and suddenly no one was on the sidewalk with me, a creepy guy jumped out asked me to do a whole slew of stuff to him, and, MAN, DID I RUN. Then I turned around and screamed cuss words at him till I felt like crying. It's great that you are fighting your fears.

This story kills me. I was flashed once at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, it was traumatizing. Why do these freakoids think they can get away with this crap. It’s disgusting. Brie your story was a nice spin on how to get over a violating ‘incident’!
It feels good to write.
