The Yellow Corvette

This morning was the second morning that the Garmin died on me 4 minutes into my run. I ALWAYS charge it after a run but I guess that I can't just charge it and then leave it off of the charger for a day and then use it because it seems to have . . . well . . . a sucky battery. The first time it happened, I was really annoyed. Today, I tried to not worry about it too much and I just ran the exact same path I ran on Wednesday so that I knew that I was going the right amount of time. (FYI-I just estimated my stats in RunningAHEAD based on Wed.)

It rained on Wednesday night, so it was still quite sticky out today. Other than that, I really enjoyed myself this morning. I cannot believe how much I am looking forward to next week. I know I've run this idea into the ground already but oh well, it's my blog-it feels BIG to me to know that next week I'm all RUN. That probably seems like such a silly thing to some people but, honestly, I have always felt so terrible at running but at the same time it is something that I've always really admired people for doing. So, this morning, in my last bit of running, I picked up the pace and chanted with my step, "I'm a runner. I'm a runner." It was fun and dorky.

Oh . . . yes . . . you are probably wondering why this post is titled "The Yellow Corvette." Toward the beginning of my workout this morning, just as I left my neighborhood, a yellow Corvette drove by me (as it has done many other mornings). It was loud . . . and obnoxious. I spent the next 10 minutes thinking about what type of person drives a yellow Corvette or really a yellow vehicle at all for that matter? I was perterbed that the car was such an obvious statement of "hey, hey there, look at me in my brightly colored obnoxious car." I really hope that even if one of you drives a yellow corvette or car that I have forgotten to consider before writing this post that you'll know that I love you but just not your car.

Also, there are many morning where I spend an equal amount of time admiring something really pretty and cool like a Peruvian apple cactus in full bloom or the sunrise. I just didn't want you to think that I was looking for something negative. Honestly, I wasn't, but it was yellow and kinda hard to miss.

Happy Friday!
