Big news is that over the weekend I joined Team in Training, to get closer to my goal of running the Boston Marathon. This of course spurs a question about the blog title. Not that I ever mentioned why I picked originally the name "Running with a yellow rubber band", so here's the story. Long time ago, at work, we received a box of the "Live strong" wristbands from Lance Armstrong's foundation. I never wore it, since I never believed I deserve to wear it - yes you guessed it right - I used to be a couch potato. Since I almost completely turned my life around (I work out, run and bike). I decided that for once I'm good enough to wear the "yellow rubber band". Now TNT has their own purple wristband. I was torn trying to decide what to do, when it occurred to me that I should wear them both, and have "Yahoo!" colors on my wrist.
Yes - Yahoo!s original colors were purple-and-yellow. The legend has it, that when Yahoo moved into their first office building, Filo went to a store to buy some paint, to paint the office. Since there were two paints on sale, he ended up buying both and the two colors were - yes! - purple and yellow!
So I already know what to do, now the next question is what to do with this blogs title? Yes I'll be still wearing yellow, but I'll also wear purple. I guess for now I'll leave it as is, but please comment on this post, with what do you think I should do?

Hi Tomek,
You left a ... at the end of the blog title, so that could mean running with a yellow rubber band and purple and pink :)

Thanks Preeti! I haven't thought about that - cool so I'm running with all the wristbands I can get then, and not changing the blogs name :-)
Cheers!
