how scary! Shocked

I'm just glad you weren't hurt! Fortunately, most of my running routes can be planned for areas created for pedestrians. The very few times I need to interact with vehicular traffic, I always ASSume they don't see me...even if I have the right of way. That said, I have seen areas where people are forced to run where there really is no safe alternative, they are abiding by the rules of the road, but taking a huge risk running with vehicular traffic. scary stuff! stay safe!

MI Vehicle Code- Pedestrians on Highways

Well I was definitely within the law, then. I was telling hubby that next time I am down Anderson I should figure out which house is hers (most houses out there don't have garages), then put a little "I know what you did last Thursday" note on her door. Though THAT would probably be illegal, LOL! Tongue

This situation (unfortunately) reminds me of yet another running quote:

I don't think jogging is healthy, especially morning jogging. If morning joggers knew how tempting they looked to morning motorists, they would stay home and do sit-ups. ~Rita Rudner

They're just jealous. Big grin

I LOVE Rita Rudner! Her dry wit cracks me up! And I do wonder if a LOT of motorists who fail to give runners room or the right-of-way are simply bitter and acting out because they aren't being as proactive with their own fitness. I know I used to feel sorta annoyed by joggers when I was overweight and out-of-shape (heh, I mean moreso than I currently am, LOL). Though I still was very careful to give them plenty of room...I didn't want any dents on my car! Wink
