Didn't feel like going for this run. Creaky, slow and crappy this morning. Cold too. And tired from renovating yesterday. I slowly decided which clothes to wear, which shoes to wear, whether or not to eat, what to drink, which stretches to do, and eventually dragged out the door and ran it. The leg feels okay, not great, but not worse. One interesting incident. I usually sprint for the traffic lights. The last light on the run, I had given up on it when I noticed the count down numbers were at 10, when I was about 100m away. I suddenly decided to sprint up the hill and through this light. I accelerated at an astonishing rate (I really couldn't believe I was going this fast) and was just shooting into the intersection when I noticed that some construction equipment that was going through the intersection seemed to be accelerating towards me. I skidded to a stop, yelling "F**K!" just in time for the a***e to miss me by inches as he swerved left and cut past me! Stupid b*&**d. I had lots of witnesses (stopped cars at the intersection) but I didn't bother looking at them, just dashed around the back of the thing and kept going. About 5C, light winds, overcast, lots of leaves falling.


Wow Pierre. Glad you are ok. Nice run in your condition

Thanks, Richard! Couldn't believe the guy was trying to kill me! I could see the f**r grinning as he drove the thing (rail adapted front loader, going about 40km/h) at ridiculous speeds through the intersection.
