Pretty good run today.  I ran a course that I've been neglecting lately--the North Phoenix Highway to the hills east of Phoenix.  I like the rolling hills, just not the tight shoulder that leaves little room to run on.  I got hit by a car at the light just south of Home Depot.  Really just brushed by the rear-view window on the passenger side, but I slammed my fist on the car window and it didn't even phase the driver.  Then I realized it was a 80+ year old lady and I felt kinda bad.  The driver in the car that was following had a shocked look on her face and inquired if I was okay which was nice of her.  Anyway, all's well that ends well and I'm fine.....more alert than ever about sketchy drivers though...

You're kidding! You attacked an elderly driver!? Does your wife know about this (or the part about you getting hit?) Be careful....

How did you know she was 80+ some of us look older than others. glad you are ok.

Jill- Attacked sounds a little harsh... Besides, she started it. :)

Terry- I'm pretty sure she was 80+ based on her reaction when I hit her car. She didn't speed up, slow down, steer away, or even turn her head to look at me. Maybe she was just "in the zone" and wasn't fazed by anything else?

Hi- This is Jill. I just received an email noting that I commented on your blog, which I did not do. Strange. Maybe someone has hijacked my account or this is an odd mistake... I just wantd to pipe in so you knew that the first comment from "jill" was not really from me... Also, wanted to tell you in the event that it happens again!

Strange!
