A man is out there running in shorts, in this weather, Dumb Runner has learned, causing consternation and dismay for at least one local woman.
“Good heavens, would you look at that,” said Gladys Kravitz, 81, peering out the window of her single-story home. “There’s some guy out there running in shorts.”
“In this weather!” she added.
Sources said the retired grandmother of four appeared mostly to be talking to herself, though her husband, Abner, was within earshot.
“Hmm,” said Abner Kravitz, 84, from a nearby recliner, where he was reading a newspaper.
The runner, according to the sources, appeared to be a male in his late 30s or early 40s; in addition to shorts, they said, he was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, insulated vest, gloves, and knit cap.
The runner seemed to be “comfortable,” the sources said, showing no signs of distress—none of which appeared to register with Kravitz.
“Some people,” she said, shaking her head. “His legs must be freezing.”
Kravitz remained at the window until the runner was out of sight, then walked to the kitchen to call a friend on her landline phone.
“Samantha!” she said into the receiver. “It’s Gladys. Real quick, look out your front window.”
She paused, silent for several seconds, then spoke again.
“I know!” she said. “In this weather!”
