This week has been a good one. The weather has been pretty ideal for this time of year and I have enjoyed running in it! Sunday I tried to do my first 10 mile long run. It was going amazingly until I started seeing lightning. At this point I was about 4 miles from home and I didn't know exactly what to do so I called Mike. Our conversation went like this:
Me: "Hey, am I going to get stormed on?"
Mike: "I don't know?"
Me: "Well, I see lightning, can you check the radar and tell me how close it is?"
Mike: "If you can see lighting doesn't that mean you can get hit by lightning?"
Me: "..........Well.......can you just check the radar?"
Mike: "...... (I can hear him opening the computer to check the radar.) "Well it looks like it's right on top of us so get home."
Me: "That's the problem, I am really far from home...I will figure out something....I guess...."
So I ended up running to my parents house which was about 1 mile away. They didn't expect me to be coming to their door at 7:30pm asking for a ride home. In the end of it all I didn't get to do my 10 miler and I am so bummed because I know I could have!

I wish I could run those distances. I'm happy when I do a 3 mile run...can't even imagine a 10 mile run. Good for you for trying - even if the storm got in your way.
