Felt much better this morning. Its nice to be back in the routine. I made it to the Y yesterday and got my weights in. I also ended up walking on the eliptical for about 30 mins. This morning's run was much better than Saturday.
Interesting experience this morning. There's a section of my 6 mile loop that takes me off of the sidewalk and onto the road for approximately 200 yards. I've never really worried about a vest or anything even though there are no lights in that area. Its usually fairly deserted at the times that I run. This morning, a black Licoln Navigator, with dark tinted windows and big rims stopped after passing me in that area and waited for me to catch up. I was a little nervous when I approached the window. The young man in the car just said "man you need a vest, I couldn't see you!" and handed me a worker's yellow and orange vest with reflective sections on it.
I'm sure my mumbled "thank you.", as I accepted the vest, didn't fully expressed my feelings. I was taken aback that this man would take the time, not only to stop and warn me that I wasn't visible, but to choose to do something about it. Since I will probably never see him again, and would probably not recognize him if I did, I can only express my thanks here on the web and hope it makes a difference.
