hi everyone, i’m angel and i run the washington post’s reddit and during my 6 miler with my running group tonight it happened. i called it out going “yo there’s a rat” and it went under a fence, and then it ran back out of the fence and it made contact with my foot mid-stride. according to my running friends i jumped, allegedly.
please share your similar stories so i feel less alone. happy monday, all
EDIT: WOW i really enjoyed hearing all of your ... encounters. figured i'd offer a gift link to our recent big project about the great DC rat migration. it features a cute lil video game as well!
