You never know what you are going to encounter on any particular run, you always hope it will be beautiful sites and not bothersome smells!

1. Freshly Cut Grass:
   Although I appreciate freshly cut grass and the way that allows for an easier running path, it’s not what I want to encounter on my run. Not only does the grass cutter have to stop cutting in order for me to run by, but then I have to breathe the tiny particles for the rest of my run!
2. Skunk:
   No one likes to smell a skunk, but when you are running, you can’t hold your breath and speed by, so the smell follows you on your path.
3. Greasy Grille:
   Don’t get me wrong! I want that greasy food to restore my body after I run, but when I am running, I don’t want to even consider eating food.
4. School Bus Exhaust:
   Because a school bus is so tall and I am so short, if I get stuck behind a school bus, then the exhaust is going to hit my squarely in my face.
5. Second-Hand Smoke: If you are a city runner, then you have to encounter people who are enjoying a smoke break. While it may be easier to hold your breath through this smoke cloud, it still can stick with you as you continue on.
