Perspective Made Me a Monster (or How I Failed a 5k)

Perspective can change everything.

Perspective is the reason we feel victorious or defeated.  Perspective is how two people can look at the same situation with two very different sets of eyes.  Perspective is often a matter of life experience, of looking back or just a matter of circumstance.  Perspective is more than being an optimist or a pessimist.

The last 4 or 5 days have been a lesson in perspective for me, but let's only focus on one example:

My Weekend in Review: Coastline, Contraband and Catching Up

Proof that I am a true Gemini - My weekend:
Day 1: Due to overcast weather conditions and nearly constant rain, I stayed inside and watched my shows on the DVR.  I also took a nap.  Not that I needed it.  I was not out late the night before and consequently got plenty of sleep...

Day 2: Brunch and then Coastline Festival.  12 bands, 2 stages, craft beers... basically partied my face off from 3:00ish til 11:30ish.
