Another long work day. In a little before 6am. I was able to get out around 10:30am for my run. Did 10 south on Wasatch. I was short on time so I went a little quicker. Avg 6:45 HR 151. Interesting comment about drivers and not moving over. I wanted to do a little survey so while running up Sunnyside near the Zoo (a four lane road with hardly any traffic) I observed the following. I will also post this on the discussion forum.
Here’s the breakdown of the experiment. 19 cars total passed me. In all cases they were driving in the right lane though the left lane was empty. I waved to all cars about 20ft out.
10 of the cars were driven by men, 7 of these moved over. One of the cars that did not move over was driven by a man that must have been over 80, had his handicap sticker, and I’m pretty sure did not even see me at all (a little scary). Only one of these guys was on the phone and he moved over. 4 of the seven men that moved over waved back.
9 of the cars were driven by women, only 2 of these moved over. 7 of the women were talking on the phone and none of the women waved back. |
