You will need:

- Time
- Copy paper
- A picture
- Trees
- A trail
- A running partner (most important component)

You have to ask yourself just how much you like your running partner before you do this, or ask yourself how much they like you. First, have a picture of your running partner. It is best to have this looking much like a mug shot. Next, get into your computer and photo shop your running partner on a wanted poster. Give it some creative reason why he or she is wanted if you’d like. It should say somewhere, “Seen often on this trail.”

Find some busier trail that you typically run on, and go out the night before, posting a few of these wanted pictures up on trees. It might be best to have them facing the opposite direction in which you’ll be running.

Obviously the next morning, insist on running that same trail. Simply enjoy yourself from this point. If you find that you aren’t getting any reactions, pull off to the side of the trail. Tell your partner to keep running, and you’ll catch up. Then, grab one of the wanted notes, and walk around with it, showing it to people, and say, “That’s him/her! He’s/She’s getting away!” This will insure the joke will work.

If your running partner is big, make sure you are faster than he or she. Also, as you’re running for your life, but still laughing about it, make sure you grab all the wanted posters you put up - no littering!

Have fun out there!
