I have a friend that started this game. It is a winter running game. "Andy" designed it so that people will get outside in run in the hard winter months. You get points for rain, sleet, snow ect. Basically the worse the conditions the more points you get.
So today was my first run. I knew it was going to be in the 40's out, therefore I had to hurry and get out to get more points.
I was out the door by 9am. This is high traffic time. This is the same time the little dog got hit a few weeks ago.
I stay as far over as I can on the side of the road. I normally do not look at traffic rather straight ahead. But today because there were so many cars I had to pay close attention to them coming towards me.
This guy looked right at me and gave me THE BIRD! He Flipped me OFF! I couldn't help myself, I just started laughing. It was crazy. I found myself laughing throughout my 10 mile run.

You can let someone's nastiness hijack your day, your run, your joy..or you can use it to fuel you!
I was really having a hard time getting up N. Holly by Belford road but laughing out loud made me forget I was out of breath.
Coming up to 9 miles I was ready to be done yet again I was chuckling at that knuckle head so angry.
I hardly felt that last mile. What I felt was empowering. It was overcoming.
Proverbs 29:11 "A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back."
