Yesterday I mentioned how sometimes life happens. Well, I was not expecting it to happen so soon. After my treadmill run yesterday afternoon I get in my truck and start it. As I am moving some stuff around the lights flicker and the radio turns on/off. I was like....ummm whats going on here? I sit there a while and nothing else happens, so I take off. First bump I hit it does it again. Once that happened I had a clue of what was going on. I pulled over and opened the hood to confirm that the battery cables are full of corrosion. Made the trip home just fine, but knew it was a issue that I needed to fix ASAP. I get a few tools out and start getting the corrosion of the terminal and realize its more than just a simple cleaning job. The terminal is so thin that as I try to take it off the battery it snaps. HOUSTON we have a problem! Lucky for me the auto store is less than a mile from my home and is open till 10 PM. I would also like to include I own very few "tools" and not exactly a mechanical type of person. Went to the auto store told them my problem and they suggested the parts I needed. Well of course its the wrong part as I become more familiar with with I am doing. Return to the store around 9:30 PM get the correct part, or so I was hoping. Since it closed in 30 minutes it was either now or never type of deal. Lucky for me, the part was the correct one and had everything on by 10 PM. Of course I had to clean up the mess I made, shower, eat, ect. Didn't fall asleep to nearly midnight and with a 4:30 AM wake up and 7 miles to do, I decided 4 hours was just not going to be enough to get a run in worth while and mess up the rest of the week. So, I decided to run the 7 much later tonight when DW gets home from bible study.
So this morning thinking things are going well i pack up all my stuff and walk out the door. As I'm locking the door I feel something cold and wet... the milk is leaking! Get to go back inside, clean my lunch bag and change clothes. Of course now I am late and get to fight the awesome traffic. Made it to the office 15 minutes late... Hoping the day improves and that 7 miler get done because I really do not want a 0 on the first planned run of the month.
Did drop 0.4 lbs from yesterdays weigh in, which was nice to see after having a late meal and a cold beer before bed. lol
