I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

I hit a car today.  Yes, some butthead was making a right turn onto Main Street and didn't look before he turned and  just about smashed me.  I gave his rear fender a big ol bang with my hand and kept on going, a little afraid he'd turn around and kill me.  Not the smartest move on my part as he was the one with the big ol car and NO brain in his head ;)

The run was great today.  I had a hard time getting myself going, as seen in the splits.  I wish I had more time this morning, I would have gone futher.  Oh well, off to work ;)

I've done that to cars too. I just wish I could smack the drivers!

From Metcalf Running on Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 12:21:51

I'm glad that you are OK, drivers never seem to look for runners/bikers. It's crazy! Nice run! Have fun at work LOL!

From leslie on Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 13:56:45

Good for you! Hopefully the jerk will look next time. Nice run, it feels good to think you still have enough steam left to keep going! Have a great weekend Marion!! I will run a mile for you on the beach!!

From Burt on Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 13:56:48

I think it's your civic duty to do that.

From leslie on Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 14:53:21

yeah, Burt is right, and the driver is a Butthead!

From Kelli on Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 15:24:34

Stupid butthead should be arrested! Way to show him!

Have a great day!

From Lucia on Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 16:12:20

Glad to hear you didn't get hurt! Cars suck, that's why I don't have one :) Well, that and because it was stolen last year, ha ha!

Keep on runnin' girl!

Happens to me a few times too...usually I smashed into the front passenger door and the driver was like "OMG!" surprise look. The ones that didn't even see me have their ears stuck to their cell phones. Those are the ones that irritate me. I'm glad you didn't get hurt. Have a fun long run this weekend, the weather is as BEAUTIFUL as you!!!

From Mandy on Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 23:06:23

I totally have some bricks at the apartments if you want me to track down the driver.....just a thought. So, does this mean that no one else got sick and you're feeling better??? I hope so.

From Marion on Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 23:13:17

I need some wood to knock on, but it looks like we are in the clear :) I sure hope we can make it through the next 3 days with no more barf, and we will be good ;)
