I Got Hit by a Car Running - AMA

Why were you running on the road?

How can a car run?

Maybe if you did not drink as much before running you would not black out. I would suggest not drinking within 2 hours of your run if you want to maximize results

I'm sure he means the engine was running. If the engine wasn't running then it would have to be coasting downhill at a very fast pace!!

I'm really confused. You say you got hit by a "Car Running" but isn't it implied that the car was running if you got hit by it? It would be pretty hard to get hit by a car if its engine wasn't on.

Perhaps it was a self driving car that learnt how to run and did not like his haircut

Hi, I was also hit by a car, AMA!

What was your mile time at the time of the accident? I'm hoping to get my mile time down so I can run D1 too!

What can I do as a driver to make the road more safe for you? If you could, would you get hit by the car again? What hurt more your first sub 5 mile, or getting hit by the car?

By turning the key in the ignition.

I should have included a comma or "while running" to the OP. My mistake. I live by it.

Don't be 75 years old. I wouldn't do it again. I don't remember any of the pain during the accident so I'll have to say my first sub-5 mile.

My PR then and now was 4:25. Run while in college. If you look hard enough, you'll be able to find a D1 school that will take a 4:33 1600m, 10:05 3200m that I was in HS. But don't expect any scholarships ;)

The driver was a 70-year old woman who was driving to visit her husband in a nursing home. I don't believe she didn't like my haircut but I was wearing hat so I doubt she was able to see it.

I didn't choose the route we were taking. And I don't think I would have been mentally strong enough to run 12 miles on the infield of a track.

I find this thread incredibly dispectful, especially since we just lost one of our on due to an accident like this. Alexrunsmiles how dare you make a thread like this when a family is burrying their son this week due to the same issue.

Relax man, I got hit by a car before, while riding my bike as a kid.

What type of insurance settlement did you end up receiving?
