I guessed the runners of Bayshore were all thinking the same thing. For many of us it's a decades-long compulsion. For others it's a fleeting assay at self-improvement and fitness. I started in earnest 18 months ago as a terrifyingly large birthday loomed, and now run on Bayshore five mornings a week. But we're out there, creatures of habit, despite grisly headlines. Pretty Windbreaker Girl was already running, as was Grimace Face Guy who must be training for something because he was doing wind sprints.
I crossed against the light. But I felt weird about it. Less than 24 hours prior, police say Jessica Raubenolt was legally crossing an intersection using the pedestrian ramp when she was fatally struck by a black Mustang going miles per hour, her month-old daughter Lillia dying a day later at Tampa General Hospital.
Bayshore Boulevard is a treasure, one I feel privileged to run. No, Tampa doesn't really have beaches, but Bayshore, a linear park erroneously touted as the longest continuous sidewalk in the world, offers views of the working waterfront, the still-in-progress downtown skyline, the historic mansions of railroad barons and RV tycoons.
I've seen dolphins too many times to count, sharks swimming in tight circles, hundreds of pelicans inelegantly fishing and a baby otter that I'm still not sure wasn't a hunk of driftwood. I wave at Guitar Man every time I see him, a man who perambulates Bayshore several mornings each week holding a guitar. His pearly electric axe is slung rakishly across his belly, maybe a silent chord strummed from time to time. He's a celebrity among us, and we all have our personal theories. Emily Ghosh that's Pretty Windbreaker Girl thinks the guitar is just his passion, a pleasure to combine with being outdoors in a beautiful setting.
Brian Bradway funny gait, but he gets the job done guesses Guitar Man is in a church choir and uses his morning walks for practice. Truth is, the runners and walkers of Bayshore are a loose tribe.
We recognize each other, wave and nod. Even plugged into soundtracks of our own mine is on Spotify called Laura's Slightly Ridiculous Running Jams, you can look it up ,we all share the same experiences, from the joyous to the terrifying. There are party fouls and annoyances on the 4. When the lithe gazelles of the Plant High School cross country team are out, I try not to lament my aging knees.
