I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much.

And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

PM- 8 easy miles with the jogging stroller. A lady driving an SUV almost hit us, missing by less than a foot. I don't think she even saw us because she was text messaging on her phone. I had a coworker killed cause another driver was texting. Everyone, PLEASE DON'T TEXT WHILE DRIVING!!! Please don't talk on your phone, either- both are dangerous. As runners we should be aware how dangerous cars can be. Be safe and don't use your phone.

Jon, I completely agree. Some people are just scary. The one day into work I saw I guy on his blackberry with a newspaper on his steering wheel and a mug of coffee in his other hand. I kid you not he was driving with his elbows...

Jon, were you running against or with traffic? I have been buzzed by mirrors before, where they almost hit you. Utah drivers are A-holes! Ive been in a fight with a driver because he yelled at me to get off the road. I stopped and yelled back and he turned his car around and when he came back I told him I had every right to be on the road as he did and I pay my Taxes and by the look of your car I can see I have a better right than yourself to be on this road. After I said that he just drove away. They do that with bikers too. You know a bike is considered a vehicle. You just have to slow down if on-coming traffic is there and then go around them. Not push your way through. You got my ugly side going Jon! That is a bitter subject! I could write a term paper on it! If any of you students need a good term paper on drivers etiquette just let me know!
