Yeah. The other day I'm running with the dog after dark. he's all heads/ears/nose up. Hear shuffling to my left in the woods. Car coming in the other direction. 20 yards in front of me it hits a deer. Small car, partly alive deer. The lady turns around (more to make sure it was dead and to make a call if it wasn't) when another car comes careening along - even with the first driver's flashers on - and manages to kill, then high-center, on this buck. She manages to back off this now completely dead deer.
Worse part is I think I flushed it. I'm not sure I want to run at night anymore, at least not with the dog.
I run around 3 AM. It's always dark ... LOL. However, I don't have to constantly watch for cars/traffic. I know my "clock" is different (little sleep, love the morning, etc.) but it's what I prefer. I get to work and my run is done. However, I work in DC and one day I'd like to run the Mall. Traffic doesn't concern me as much as all the yuppies in the daglo $500 running outfits might run me over ... I don't understand the stretching at every corner. I've thought about falling in behind the Marines from 8th and I or the Old Guard doin' the shuffle.
