Took the day off to fret about the state of our country. Happy that I've been running since 1978 and no one has shot me while out on a run.

And you even lived and ran in the racist South for a while. Of course, you're white.

I have had beer bottles thrown at me.

I have as well. More in Utah than SC.

That surprises me about Utah, but I've never been and I my knowledge about it is from the blog (which would represent the state well). I've never had beer bottles throne at me, but know it's a thing from one of the guys I used to run with who grew up in southern Illinois and went to college in, what he described as, "the boot heel of Missouri." I didn't know that was actually a thing that people did, though I've encountered a decent amount of harassment (I lived in Indiana for several years when I started running).
Runners are weirdly targeted, but this was more an instance of racist execution while "happen to be running," which is probably apparent to both of you.
Wishing you both and your families the best always but especially in these times.
