Frogger
Monday, March 16th, 2009Don’t know about the rest of you but most of the time when I’m out running, I feel like I’m in a game of Frogger. If you don’t know what Frogger is…leave right now. Seriously.
Like the rest of the running public, I run against traffic to “keep an eye” on the crazy maniacs trying to get home before the latest rerun of Two and a Half Men ends. Even with a keen eye there are more close calls than not. In over 3 years running, I’ve only been hit 3 times. Once a year isn’t bad and in no way am I complaining. Unfortunately, we’re well into year 4 which means I’m preparing for the worst.
I get crap for wearing “Deer Hunter Orange” and bright colors but at this point I’d settle for anything that would blind oncoming traffic. My head is on a swivel every time I cross a driveway, street or fast food joint (yes John Eary – I mean you).
Here’s to hoping you make it to the other side of the pond without getting crunched by the semi doing 80 down your residential street in a school zone at recess.
