It was my favorite type of weather today (cloudy, 40°, light drizzle), so I decided to pay a visit to my old high school's cross country course to run a quick 5k after work. I got off work at noon, and jogged over to the starting line (my job is about a quarter-mile from my old high school), and started the run.
Part of the course is parallel to and completely visible from a very busy street (S. Main St., for all you Ann Arborites). I was running on that portion, and all of a sudden I hear the sound of tires skidding on wet pavement. I looked up to witness a silver Saturn Ion rear-end a Honda Civic. I considered stopping to make sure everyone was okay, but that would involve running across a busy road. Plus, it was a minor accident. Clearly no injuries.
THEN, as I watched, the guy in the Ion (at fault) throws his hands up in the air in frustration and then looks DIRECTLY at me and gives me the finger. :laugh:
He must have been glancing at me running and not noticed that traffic was stopped at a light. I smiled, shrugged, and continued my run.
