Ran 5

Got a late start to my run today.  Didn't get out until around 9.  It was Hot!!!  I was planning on running 6 but the heat got to me and only got 5 in.

As I am running this crazy lady pulls over and yells out her window....oh she not crazy, she's my cousin Toby, LOL.  Stopped to talk to her for a minute.   We live really close to each other but hardly see one another.  We need to work on that. :)

Got in a fender bender this evening!!! :(  I was parking and the guy next to me was acting weird and started to pull out while I was starting to park.  He was parked at a funny angle and as he was trying to back out I stopped to let him finish and he hit the back side of my car.  My car looks really good, his car it another story.  At times like this I am glad I drive a big car.  We did the whole cop thing, but the cop was kind of not helpful.  He didn't ask what happened and didn't get each side of the story.  I'm kind of worried that he is going to say it was both our faults.  I went up to him after and told him it wasn't my fault and said he would have to call the other guy and ask his side of the story. Stupid!! Aren't you suppose to do that while your all together?

Oh Toby...here's her entry.

Bummer about the bumper bumping. Fine job on the five jog.

I had a crazy lady honk at me several times and then swerve over today while I was running....turned out it was my sister! RELATIVES!!!!

Way to get out there in the heat, it makes it TOUGH!

Now, about the fender bender: since it was in a parking lot, the cops really do not "care" and the reason they don't is that they can not give tickets on personal property AND the insurance companies always do their own investigation anyway. So, the cops come to get a report for the insurance company, then the insurance company will talk to both of you, then THEY decide whose fault it is and you are at their mercy. (This is my "expertness" from being married to a cop and 2 parking lot accidents.)

Just a big guess here, but since he was reversing, he will most likely be found at fault. According to the cops point of view, anyone reversing is at fault, they do not have the right of way. So, I hope that is how it turns out for you!!

And I feel the same way about my monster suburban!!! However, a tiny little deer can do a ton of damage to even a big car, so steer clear of those!

Kelli- That's good to hear about the reversing thing. I have been sick to my stomach thinking about the whole thing. I did talk to the guys ins. and the man said that it sounds like he is at fault. I sure hope the guy is honest!

Honesty is always an issue!
