May The Force Be With You... and also traffic lights.

Sometimes I wish I had powers of the mind.  Not so much like the Jedi Masters from "Star Wars", but power to control things.  Like traffic lights.  Wouldn't it be great to never have a red light again?  Oh the joy!

The same rings true while running and today's run was a perfect example.  Seven miles, and I hit seven red lights.  At each of these lights, there was too much traffic to "sneak" across.  No, I had to wait. 10, 20, 30 seconds at each.  When you have to stop this much, you just can't seem to get into a good rhythm.  Even without the pace that I was looking for, I still accomplished my run.

Now if I can just figure out how to control those darn lights.


Today's totals -  7.43 miles  /  163.94 total for year.
