Here in the States there are many thing runners have to look out for. On our runs we need to look out for dogs, cars, and potholes, but in Australia runners have to add kangaroos to that list. Twenty-five year old David Striegl was enjoying a lunch time run in Canberra when he spotted one of the popular marsupials. Thinking nothing of the common sight he ignored the kangaroo.
In a matter of moments the jogger was blo0dy and unconscious on the ground.
He was roused by a passing motorist and taken to the hospital. He ended up with a black eye and a tetanus shot as souvenirs of his encounter.
When asked if he’d be running there again, Striegl replied yes, but probably with some friends from work.
