10 miles in the rain. I felt good during this run, and felt really good during the last 3 miles. I found a great way to get an enrgy boost/adrenaline boost when you start feeling tired, come extremely close to getting bit by a car. I was running on a sidewalk about 6.5 miles into my run. A lady was pulling out of mcdonalds making a right turn, ignored her stop sign and only checked for cars to her left. She never saw me, because who checks for people on sidewalks? I can say that I often do the same thing, so I can't be too mad right? I saw that she didn't see me, so I moved as close to the street as I could trying to give her a split second to see me, it didn't work. I was in front of her suburban when she hit the gas to beat the oncoming cars. I smacked the hood of her car as hard as I could with my left hand. I hope it made her pee her pants!
I was really mad for about a mile, but this did give me an adrenaline boost.
This is the exact reason I usually run in the road and not on the sidewalks. Most people don't stop at the stop signs (if they stop at all), but they stop with the front of their cars sticking into the road.
