Runners Beware

So in a deviation from what I created this for, I would like to comment on safety while running. Having had several mishaps on separate occasions I feel I have some experience with what not to do.

Rule #1 While Running behind a cute girl, keep your eyes on the road. Sometimes cities like to put light poles in the middle of the sidewalk (cough cough naples florida coastland center mall).

Rule #2 Pick your feet up... not all sidewalk slabs are laid evenly.

Rule #3 Run behind cars at stop signs, if you cannot see into their windows to determine that they saw you or if the driver is a woman on her cell phone. I've been hit twice now and in one of those times the lady acknowledged I was there and then proceeded to drive into me....

Rule #4 Don't run with your dog if your dog has a tendency to stop dead in its tracks due to bikes or motor cycles... My wife broke her arm this way when the dog tripped her.
