Miscues and missed opportunities

today was kinda of split.  I woke up before 6am but couldn't bring myself to get out of bed and go running.  I can justify it as it was very cold outside but given my current weight, I really need to take advantage of these moments when I can.  I was doing pretty good this week too.  I ran on Monday and went to a spin class yesterday, my first in months.  If I run tomorrow am (not likely as SigOther is staying over) or after work, I'm no worse off.

At least I left home a few minutes earlier than usual and caught two buses without having to wait.  But then when I got the IrvingPark blue line station, about 4 people ahead of me on the escalator stood instead of walked, apparently because the first guy didn't want to walk.  When we were about 2/3 up the stairs, the train started coming.  as soon as we were able to clear the slowpoke, most of us started running.  A lady shouted something about not running people down.  I wanted to tell her that we are running because we don't want to be bunched up on the last car when there are 10? other cars and we wouldn't be running if the slow people would move out of the way.

I can understand not being in a hurry.  And I can sort of understand not wanting to walk up an escalator.  But what I can't understand is why wouldn't you want to avoid those people who are in a rush?  Why not make a little effort to move to the right so those needing to move faster can get around you.
