"Well, I didn't."

Maddy and I almost got hit by a car yesterday.  We just got out of our car and was walking towards the grocery store (looked both ways, no cars, decided to cross the street/isle of parking spaces) when this younger guy, speeds into the parking lot and turns into the isle we are crossing without slowing down.  I looked right at him and saw his face as he swerved.  He looked shocked, as if there aren't people in parking lots.  Thank GOD he didn't hit us.  I thought we were gone.  This older guy was walking about 10-15 feet in front of us saw the whole thing and also thought we were going to be hit. The younger guy was going so fast, he was able to park his car and ended up walking next to us into the store.  The older guy said some choice words and basically said, "You almost hit this woman and child!"  He was pissed.  I had tears in my eyes I was so shaken.  The younger guy looks right at me, cocks his head and said, "Well, I didn't." and walked away.

I thanked the older guy for speaking up.  It meant a lot to me.  I patted/rubbed his back as he walked away.

I keep replaying this whole incident over and over.  What if this, what if that.  I'm so thankful.... so so thankful.

I didn't feel like doing anything last night.  I just wanted to lay on the couch.  Almost getting hit by a car really put a funk in my mood... imagine that.  After much debating, I decided to get up and do my day 2 of the Couch to 5 k (C25K) program.  I'm so glad I did.  I was able to clear my mind and get some fresh air.  It was just what I needed.

Running is going great.  I love my Vibram sprint shoes.  I can honestly say that I am enjoying running.  I'm always looking forward to my next run.  :)

Tomorrow is Wednesday and I'm looking forward to weighing in.
