Yay for marathon training. I have startled people before, mainly because I am paranoid when it is dark out and stay extra alert.

This is a great blog that you have here. I have a sports blog myself where we cover a wide range of sports. I was wondering if we could do a link exchange. We have to stick together.

Why on earth do you need to look down while you are running, looking out for other runners is way more important than looking down for worms! Good luck with training!

Andrew - true true!

Ulyana - thanks! (I haven't heard of a runner running into a car before - funny)

HAHA, a friend of mine had a runner run into her car on a road. He was running in her lane, right toward her car with his eyes closed, she stopped completely, and the guy just kept running. He was all pissed and mad, saying she hit him, but there were witnesses who were like "dude, run with your eyes open". Running is no time to catch up on your nap!

GOOD LUCK with the marathon training. SO exciting!

Don't want to end up with another broken shoulder eh!

I am training for the Chickamauga marathon.

Thanks all for the comments -

Lindsay - I was running on the edge, we still almost hit because he jumped all over so much :)

About being scared - I have been scared my share of times - even this morning when running a biker rode up behind me on the sidewalk and said something right as he came up behind me - scared me quite a bit.

normally the runners aren't the problem, but the walkers!...i find myself scaring the living daylights out of walkers when i simply run by them...i try to give them enough space between me and them but i still scare people often. Even when I speak up and give alittle warning they get scared. I can't win!

Good luck with training, I hope to run Chickamauga...

Good luck with training, I hope to run Chickamauga one year, since it's so close...

I guess that guy was in the "zone" but when your running, and especially that early, always pays to have your head on a swivel..

We have to think for others - not only for our own (obvious) safety, but so that they learn perspective from our act of kindness.

We love others, by doing things for them that we wish others would do for us.

2009-08-07T08:12:05.499-04:00

crikey! that's pretty scary stuff. people who run like that--with absolutely no regard whatsoever--need to stick to trails, where they can just scare the wildlife. :(

2009-08-07T07:49:07.452-04:00

for someone who saw the guy in advance you still almost plowed into him? ;) careful out there. at least running into a person is less painful/deadly than a tree falling on you or getting hit by a car like the news stories lately.

Making another runner almost pee his pants... priceless. Hopefully it will encourage him to run with his head up
