vehicle 1 Tara 0

The girls are in Germany, I stayed in Nemours because I had to make up 2 days that I missed when I was in Rome with Geoff...so I've taken up running...a lot. I found the famous forest of Fountainebleau, not only that, I also found trails marked with yellow arrows...can't get lost! Yesterday I took a bunch of photos, not exactly the best way to get a quality run in, but by far the best way to get the most photos per minute spent outside. Today, well I got hit by a car, here's the story. I had to extend my run a bit, so I ran through downtown to get to the canals. The problem with this, is that the streets are only big enough for 1.5 cars to travel down. So this dude in a giant van decides to make a right hand turn into a parking garage. No biggie. I'll just jet to the left and run down the street until I pass the vehicle and jump back onto the sidewalk. Problem is the van decides to stop, mid stride...so I plowed into the back of the vehicle. And by "got hit by a car" I mean "ran into a car". Like a champ (severely embarrassed) I carry on as though nothing has happened and I can hear the dude in the van calling out, cue Tara runs faster.
