Everyone here is very courteous about giving each other COVID room on their walks, but I refuse to be the one who deviates from my path if I'm in the road walking against traffic and they are not. If there is only one sidewalk and we're both on it, I'll deviate even if I'm the one walking the wrong way for a short stretch. But I'm afraid if your runner had come at me, we'd have collided. I can be very stubborn about such things.
