Wow! As I was out on my long run this afternoon, I was diverted from my intended path by police barricades and flashing lights. As I approached the scene I saw another runner being turned away, and when I asked what had happened, I was shocked to hear a runner was stuck and killed by a driver on the exact path I intended to run on.
More details on the tragedy here.
This put a whole different perspective on my long run. And it got me thinking about a lot of things…

Tragic news article. You just never know what a car/driver will do. Must have been very upsetting for the running partner.

Liz, the woman killed, was a good friend. When people say she sparkled, it’s an understatement. I’ve thought of her constantly over the last week and I am sure that for the rest of my life I will think of her every time I run. I hope her intensity and passion inspires others as it inspires me.
She died three days before her 27th birthday. More in this article http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/312958_accident25.html
