Ooh, I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you. I used to run a lot when I was younger, before I had arthritis, and I can identify with hearing those inappropriate comments.
The pepper spray is probably a good idea, and it's good that your boyfriend is being supportive.
If anyone tries to tell you that that guy's comments were not inappropriate, I just want to add my voice as a middle-aged woman who's heard a lot of crap throughout the years - they were NOT appropriate. Your gut feeling was totally right. The guy was interested in you, alright, but not in the way you want a jogging buddy to be interested. Plus, the fact that he was so impulsive that he started texting you right away to say all those things is more evidence that you don't want anything to do with him.
I hope this will all die down and that the guy won't bother you any more.
Hugs.
