So, every so often I get swerved at while I am running. Literally, people play chicken with me. I know I am not the only pedestrian this happens to, but I could not help but wonder this morning, why?
I mean let's be real here. Pedestrian versus automobile.......I know how this showdown would go, the automobile ALWAYS wins. It's a no brainer.
As usual I hop like a freakin' leaping lizard from the bike lane up on the curb (as if this will REALLY make a difference if I was going to be hit) and mumble curse words to myself once they pass. However this morning it would appear karma bit back. One of the cars who swerved (mind you he was ALL over the road, not necessarily playing chicken with just me, but curbs, cars, etc.) was pulled over by Lincoln PD this morning when I was on my return home.
Karma, luck, whatever.
Here's hopping everyone has a great weekend....and that I don't get swerved at tomorrow :P

This totally reminds me of my friends post:spreadlove6.blogspot.com/2008/05/this-butts-for-you.html (I hope I did that right). Running is a dangerous activity!! LOL!
That's terrible! Seriously. I'm still getting used to riding my bike to work (a whole new experience to me) and being that close to cars sometimes freaks me out just a wee bit. Fortuantly my biking partner and I try and take the less used roads just so we have a less likely chance of being hit.
Stay safe!!!
Hmmm.. Perhaps a running helemt is in order???
Seriously WHY do you post these things? It freaks me out and makes me worry even more! Someday you are going to notice a blue Exterra with some kids passed out in the back following you:):)
We love you, please go run in the gym like the rest of us non-crazies:)
