Subject: RE: Post dog encounter adrenaline deficiency ...I had a similar adrenaline rush yesterday. I was at 18km into my 22km run - first time in ages I decided to wear my earphones and have some tunes but not blasting I could still hear traffic etc. Anyway I'm running on the footpath in struggletown and a car speeds out of his driveway - forwards thank goodness or he wouldn't have seen me at all. I hit him at full pelt - I definitely dented the side of the hood a bit. He did screech to a halt as did I and managed not to do a Starsky and Hutch somersault across the car. He was really apologetic, I was laughing - didn't know what else to do. anyway - I had 4km to go and I had nothing left. Seriously nothing. If I'd been wearing a HRM I wonder what the spike would have been. Only damaged a slight bruise on my hip and a sore ankle where I pulled up so sharply. |
