AM - 8 miles up to work. A very spring-like wintery mix out there this morning.

PM - 7.5 miles home w/ some fartlek: 10 x 2 minutes (1 min off). Timex again, so no paces. 

Great moment for humanity this morning... a car rolled into the crosswalk without looking (as they usually do). I expected it and just ran around the backside of the vehicle. About a block later, the guy pulled up alongside me and apologized for not looking! I didn't even throw up a double middle finger or anything like that. I said it was no big deal and joked that I would try to wear brighter clothes in the future (you can imagine how I was dressed, like a seizure-inducing blinking orange tree).

That is indeed a rare moment of humanity. Sometimes I get lucky and oncoming cars will go from brights to low beams, so that I'm only partially blinded, but that's about it.

it's good to hear a story like that once in awhile.

A glimmer of hope for mankind!

That same thing happened to Craig and I about a month ago and really made our run a good one that day!

On the runnervcar front, your Saucony pal, Scott Wietecha, has a funny post on Saturday 16th March.

When I'm running I hate cars. When I'm in a car I hate pedestrians and runners. But whether I'm running or in a car I ALWAYS hate cyclists!

Haha, this is the funniest thing I've read in awhile. :)
