Today's morning run was full of excitement and peril. For one, the lead was surgically removed from my legs last night leaving me with a sense of "light and fluffiness" during the entire 3 miles. I suspect the rabbits had some remorse and decided to reverse their actions from the previous night. Once again, I have no proof.
Now for the exciting part... during mile 1 I was coming up to a slightly dangerous intersection, so I was cautious. As expected, a car creeps up past the stop sign without even thinking of glancing to his right for a potential pedestrian who may just want to exercise their crazy right of street crossin'. I opted to greet the kindly gentlemen by screaming "GOOD MORNING" through his slightly cracked open window. Still oblivious. He never even looked at me. I pray for your soul you sad, sad human.
Now around mile 2ish I am coming up to a not-so-dangerous intersection and Methuselah comes driving down the street with her cell phone firmly attached to her right ear and her head facing completely to the left ( I am coming up the sidewalk to her right). I watch as she proceeds through a stop sign where she may have slightly tapped on the brakes, maybe. I applied my human brakes as I did not want to exercise my right to get tagged by a vehicle on a Wednesday Morning and decided I was tired of near misses for today. I plant my face about 2mm from her passenger window and waited for that split second where she would inevitably glance to the right before turning. She did. I watched what I can only describe as the face one makes when they defecate themselves in an automobile. I gave her my best WTF look and took off running again. It was almost worth getting hit just for that moment of personal triumph.
