For 6 years South Beach cops didn't see him running backwards because they were all eating at Dunkin Donuts. LOL!
When Alex Mesa goes for a run, he usually gets a reaction:
“People honk, wave, drive next to me and ask questions,” he said. “They give me high-fives, scream my name and cheer me on.”
But on a recent 5-mile run through South Beach, Mesa got a different kind of reaction:
A ticket for $77.50.
Miami Beach Police cited Mesa, 44, with obstructing traffic.
For the last six years, Mesa has run his usual route up and down Collins and Ocean avenues between 17th and Fifth streets running backward.
