Last night, I got a ticket.
It was my FIRST ticket
...ever...
Sad part is...
it was for not stopping
at a STOP SIGN!!
I've always been extra cautious at stop signs since my dad received a pricy ticket for not coming to a COMPLETE stop. It was a Y-intersection where 2 main streets merged into one -- I don't understand why they do not have yield/merge sign instead, it would be much more efficient in traffic flow!!!!
My perfect driving record is now stained by a violation for "failing to obey traffic control device." So instead of going out and partying with my friends, I stayed home and went to bed early. It sucked. : (
This morning I woke up early and decided that I was gonna run the seawall. I've never ran the whole wall before, but I was still mad about my ticket + it is on my summer to do list. So why not?
For those who know me, I am not a out-door runner. I run well on a treadmill that pushes me to continue, or else I will land flat on my face with a big fat rubber burn -- Running outside is a whole different story. I've done chunks of stanley park, but never seem to run the whole 9.0 km in one go. I gotta admit, for a treadmill runner, there were numerous times that I wanted to just stop and walk. But 65 minutes later, it was the best feeling ever.
A beautiful saturday morning, along the walls that separate you from the endless ocean -- a breath taking view. It was perfect. It made me realized how much I love this city. Im glad I went for my run. : )
