Damage In Tolland Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Useless bitter cold is the worst. Spoils a nice long weekend.I'm planning on a 12 mile training run at 5:00 am Sunday.

I forgot that your part of that regime who has to run on the road in the dark and cold times of the day, dodging snowbanks, and making drivers wish they weren't out that day. Why don't you just go run inside the bubble down the hill from you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Miser Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I've almost been hit a few times myself from clueless drivers. What about the clueless runners...zero reflective gear in the dark...dodging in and out of puddles and parked cars without a care to what is around them?

NorEastermass128 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 What about the clueless runners...zero reflective gear in the dark...dodging in and out of puddles and parked cars without a care to what is around them? I agree. There is blame to be had on both sides. However, in my close calls as a runner, I was not at fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 https://www.facebook.com/TollandPatch/posts/967476006639772 I want to guess slippery roads, but somehow I don't think that was the case. Roads are in pretty good shape after they blast them with the chemical crap, and sand, and salt...although maybe wind blew snow across the road at that point to make things slippery(?) That is too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I have a good friend who's an incredible athlete who got his by a bus. He's alive but barely on his way back to being an athlete. Any one else know who Ronnie Colman is? One the greatest body builders (actually number one) of all time. Broke his back squating 800lbs now he can't walk, possible for ever. Not one is invincible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys are morons. I am very careful when running, since it's always in the dark. I wear reflective clothing/hat etc..and always run against traffic, though there's not much of it since I'm out at 5:00 am or earlier. But I've had some close calls with people deliberately trying to hit me, where I've had to jump into the woods/snowbanks etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 The worst are bicyclists. That's great you want to reduce your carbon footprint, but get the phuck out of my way. I don't mind them that much when they are obeying traffic laws. They seem to think that traffic laws don't apply to them and go through red lights and fail to use signals so you know where they are going. I wonder how many intersection bicycle accidents could be avoiding if they just stopped, looked both ways and then went on when it is safe.

powderfreak Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It's coming. First time this season I've had sufficient light at 6am while making mountain weather observations. Clear skies helped but the daylight is definitely starting to show earlier and earlier in the morning on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
