I went out with Jody this morning and prayed that the rain would not become a downpour. Luckily it just spit on us a little. I slept awful last night so I should sleep great tonight. I had a car try to run me  over as he pulled out of a side street. I would have swore he saw me but apparently not. Other than that all went fairly well.

I hate near misses! But I guess they are much better than a HIT! I'm glad you are safe! It is just hard for people to remember to watch for runners and bicyclists and motorcyclists! We really have to be on the defense at all times!

I hope you get a good sleep tonight! Good job getting out even when you thought you would get drenched!

So glad you are still alive! That is totally scary--hopefully it scared the driver, and he will watch for pedestrians better!
