So this morning. I had plans for my morning. I set my alarm for 5AM. I had grand plans to get my scheduled run completed before I needed to leave the house (which was a few minutes before 7 AM). I had absolutely no problem waking up at 5. But dang, it was so dark outside, I just couldn't do it. I laid in bed and relaxed for a while and then threw my running clothes into my gym bag and headed out the door. There was no doubt in my mind, I was running after work.
And then......I started to get severe storm warnings on my phone. GRRRR And at about 4:45 a monsoon blew in and it poured down rain. I started to have doubts about my run. A light drizzle or a steady rain is ok but a downpour with wind and lightening.....maybe not.
Luckily for me, it cleared up and I changed my clothes and headed out to run.
It was a rough run. I was slow and it was so humidly hot, but I did it. I had planned to do 3 miles (my schedule demanded 2.5). I'm sorry to say that I didn't make the 3. I did however make it 2.67 (and I walked the last half mile)
I did it....and all I'll say is that this was the. Best. Sight. Ever!

That was a pretty hefty, though short, storm this afternoon!
Yay for you that you got your run in!!!! Awesomeness!
That's what matters: you did it! Well done.
Great job!!
What an inspiration you are! I love reading your posts. Thank you for running and blogging about it so I, me, a new runner, can watch you and learn from you. God bless your journey my friend and many blessings from heaven on your legs and feet.

Well done, Mary Fran! I have to admit that you had me at severe weather warning. I will never forget that summer when I still lived in Massachusetts and we had a tornado and tons of severe storms; I have never spent so much time in my basement! As a European I am just not used to this kind of severe weather and I am glad to be out of it, it's just not something I can ever get used to. I love your determination and frame of mind, you are an inspiration!
