Great. Just what I need…one more tough-as-nails, die-hard “running partner” running a step or two ahead of me.

You vs. 2,000 lbs. of metal

Heed this cautionary tale about enraging motorists. We’ve all been there. I’ve been run off the road a time or two and I’ve flipped off a few people in my time. Most recently getting into it with a creepy old guy in the morning, but…seriously, be very careful about doing battle with a person in a 2,000-lb. weapon.

This goes double for cyclists — cause they really hate you already.

Another tragedy

Sadly, another horrible story out of Kentucky of a woman (a mother of three, pregnant with her foutth) who went out for a run and never made it home.

Don’t think it can happen to you here in Erie, Pa.? Don’t be foolish. They are letting guys like this out of prison every single day (despite the fact that he can’t be “fixed” and will forever be a danger to society).  Run safe, my friends.

Quotes to run by

“I run because it’s so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can’t. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you’re capable of so much more than you thought.”   — Arthur Blank
