Had a fun longer run with Brayden and James aka runmehappy.

Started with James and had an eventful run. It started when I stepped in a massive ~~puddle~~ pond that appeared to be solid ice. Likely a broken pipe. Luckily, we hadn't run far and turned back to change my shoes. After the shoe change, a moron pulling out of 7-11 nearly hit us. He had an awesome lifted truck. (Insert jokes here). James and I both had reflective gear and headlamps on so not many excuses for aforementioned moron. James tapped his car to let him know we weren't happy. Things got ugly from there and I was called the f word in all of its variations including the three letter f word. I failed to get his license plate number...next time

We ran the last 7 with Brayden. Anyway, turned out fun.

You need to stop hanging around lawyers, rednecks and all this other riff-raff.

it's scary out there. i was nearly hit the other day, although fortunately it didn't get ugly. sorry about that. just remember rule #1 never touch, or even breathe on, a lifted truck.

Wow, somehow I can picture the guy exactly...what a bozo. Glad you guys didn't get shwacked by the truck anyway.

sounds like the little guy in the truck felt pretty threatened, or just pretty. lol! glad it didn't escalate beyond that - nothing like a little adrenaline rush though to get you going.

I guess this would have been a situation where it would pay to be a serious cross fitter, because you would have had a kettleball with you and coulda put it through his window!

ACorn,

Hi. Great miles. Not so great start! Talk about adrenaline rush - yet "Easy" miles. Good self control! With those mishaps the first three miles, maybe you were overly cautious the remaining 7 miles awaiting the next "event!"

It was a fun run despite the first few miles of mishaps. As you can see on my blog, we got quite the adrenaline rush after the truck incident that we picked up the pace for mile 3. That was mostly up a gradual hill too.
