Cars Really Do Win!

Randy gave us such a great meeting yesterday and the information was right on target. Safety is everything when you are training!

Have you ever been run over by a car? I have and it hurts! I was 12 years old and I was run over by a '76 Monte Carlo. Ouch!

I noticed many of you yesterday walking three and four wide in the road and when a car came by, you made them move over. PLEASE move to single file and get to the very side of the road. Give the cars plenty of room for a couple reasons:

1) Eventually some car will not move over and someone will get hurt; and

2) Let's be good neighbors and not create a traffic snarl. If we tick off enough drivers the police will get contacted and they will ask us not to run on the streets around Clinton and we have a lot of miles to go!

Good safety and form is moving to the side or off the road and go to single file. We will get a lot of miles in that way - safely and friendly!

How true, how true... Mary and I run at 5:30 in the morning and now that the time has changed, it is very dark. We always move to single file on the very side, but it still looks like sometimes the car is going to hit us. I agree with you Mark--move over.
