Had quite the start today. Part of my commute takes me across a taxiway which has traffic lights integral to it. I saw a C-130 doing an engine check on my approach, and I had the green. Just as I roll onto the strip, it goes yellow. Quick look to my left and the C-130's on the roll about 150' from me. So I do my best to gun it, as the light is now red. Woke me up for sure.
