Aren't I so articulate?
So, despite my wearing white and a blinking red LED flasher light that's visible for over 1/4 mile, some idiot ran me off the road today. I fell and skinned up both hands, hit my left hip pretty good and I think maybe twisted my left ankle (we'll see how it stiffens up, it might not be too bad). The thing that ticks me off is that we were on a straight stretch of road where there's good visibility in both directions, there was no oncoming traffic in the other lane, and I interfered in this guy's morning for all of 15 seconds!! I mean, seriously, can't they give me 18 inches? He seemed to think it would be funny to flip on his brights and then run as close to the edge line (which I was on the BERM SIDE of) as he could. I get really pissed off that other people being stupid ends up with me getting hurt.
And I know, that's just how life goes sometimes, but it still makes me angry, and makes me feel victimized.
So I just hope that I can make it through six more weeks of early morning runs without some idiot killing me, so I can actually run the marathon and mark it off my list!

Sorry you met up with "Jack" this morning. I was going to say ran into Jack...lol.
That was/is always my fear when I was running in the dark. I hope you recover quickly. Just remember he can't take away the high you felt when you were done running so Ha on him. (were you able to finish your run?)
Yeah, I finished okay. My ankle's a little sore, but tomorrow's my rest day anyway. I think it'll be okay by Friday.
Ugh. I'm sorry stupid people suck.
