Blessed with the gender to exist without fear, Derek Kinney trots carefree and uninhibited whenever and wherever — specifically, isolated stretches of road, back alleys, and darkened street corners.
Blissfully unaware of his surroundings, he prefers to “get lost in the run” and zone out all sounds with noise-canceling earbuds at max volume.
Ever the thrill-seeker, the self-proclaimed trailblazer loves discovering new routes, and says he feels woke running in the “bad parts of town.”
“Running alone can get pretty boring, so it’s always nice to throw some unknown variables into the mix. It’s funny, often times, I simply enjoy pretending a deranged murderer is chasing me. It’s a bit silly, I know, but it adds some extra motivation and sure helps pass the time.”
Derek was asked about any concerns running after sundown.
“Hmm. Now that you mention it, I do worry if anyone can fully see me and my killer outfit without daylight. That’d really be a shame, because I spend a lot of time on my body. It’s not even for me — it’s for everyone I see on my run. You’re all witnesses, and I love putting on a good show for you folks.
Especially all you lovely ladies out there, who, strangely, I seem to see less of at night. Not sure why, because it’s honestly the best time to run. There’s fewer people out, so you get more of the road to yourself. It’s so awesome, often times, I’ll be the only runner out there!”
