Playing with the Traffic

It seemed like the world, in the shape of numerous four-wheeled metal boxes, was against us tonight. The trouble with running in the early evening is the amount of traffic, all of which seems to be in a mad rush to get home. I'm sure many runners will recognise this. We did the usual Wednesday night route, clockwise, and were held up several times, and Joe came close to getting run over at one point. It didn't feel as though we were particularly quick even when we were allowed to run. All the same, when we compared stopwatch times we were faster than either of us expected.
