Kim dragged my tail out of the house this morning to go run. I was ill and feeling pitiful. We had no power and I was just cranky...but I jumped on the bandwagon anyhow. We ran in the pouring-down-rain, thunder and lightning...BUT WE RAN OVER 2 MILES STRAIGHT (you can do a lot when you are afraid of getting struck by lightning!) Woohoo! I know it might not have been the smartest thing, but boy did we have fun!!!
Picture this: Kim and I running in the rain, water dripping down our noses, mascara all over our faces, pants that were once capris stretched at the bottoms down to our ankles because of heavy water. It was so worth it. I felt so empowered. If you can run 2.5 and walk 2.5 in the rain for a total of 5 miles, beginning at 7:45 A.M. nonetheless, you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to! I love you, Kim, for not letting me give up and stay home feeling sorry for myself.
Oh, and we saw a cute little turtle in the middle of the road/track. Hope it was safe in all the weather, especially after Kim poked its eye out trying to see if it was a snapping turtle and would bite a pine needle. HAHAHA! Hope you all got a laugh out of that one.

That is hilarious! Glad you got your running in!!!! I wouldn't have been able to do it.
I had a good time too and I still can't belive I finally ran two miles plus a little!!! I think we should be nick-nammed the Rain Runners...maybe we can make a habit of it with this crazy Summer weather. AND for all PETA people. I didn't mean to poke the little turtle in the eye :(
