    Can you not find a new route to jog on?

    Take down the license # and name of company of the van, call the company and get the HIGHEST ranking "official" possible. Tell of your experience and that you are reporting this behavior to the police as her/his employee is yelling sexual comments to you in front of a minor child...DELIBERTLY. If you can video/audio (as this is happening in a public place there is no expectation of privacy) that might help you.

    The end result will be the employee (AKA PIG) will get a smack on the hand. The state will likely not do a thing...BUT PIG may stop this behavior.

    FIND A NEW JOGGING ROUTE.
    I disagree with altering your activities because of another's behaviors/actions. What this goof is doing needs to be addressed without you having to change the way you do things.

    DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF OTHERS DICTATE YOUR CHOICES!!!!! EVER!!! PERIOD!!!!

    IF she feels the actions are to the point where the safety of her child is at hand, even though she can deal with it on a personal basis, she needs to act appropriately.

    Thank you everyone for your comments. This morning I had my husband walk with me along part of my usual route because he's big & scary looking. I just wanted the repeat people to know who I had on my side! Unfortunately, my husband can't go running with me on a regular basis

    Sure enough, the "Pig" was there again today & when I pointed him out to my husband, he had nothing to say! Maybe seeing my husband will make him stop.

    The van is a cargo rental van from Enterprise. We went to the location in town & spoke to the manager about our situation, but he said there wasn't much he could do except call the guy & get the rental back. But we need to get a plate number. My husband is going to follow me in the car the next time I run to 1. take pictures of the plate if we see him again & 2. make sure I'm safe. Because it's a rental van, I don't think I can find out where he works, unless I follow him, which is just more harassment!

    Sadly, I really can't change my route because it is on the street off from my house. I have to use that street to get to any other street, so I'm stuck. Besides, I don't feel that I should stop running or go out of town because of this. Since it isn't quite so hot these days, I will be switching from cooler morning runs to warmer afternoon runs & hopefully will avoid him then.

    Once we do have a plate number, I WILL be talking to the police about it.

    I wasn't advocating sticking with her original routine 'at all cost'. I am, however, stating that once you let another dictate your actions/activities, then you become a sheeple, and there's way too many of them already!
