Rainy Saturday

The devil and the angel were debating in my ear at 5:30 this morning. I looked out the window and it was raining. The devil was telling me to get back in the bed. The angel said, "You have to run. You'll feel like a slug if you don't, and you'll feel great if you do." 

The radar on the Weather Channel showed a line of rain just to the west of Corinth, Mississippi. I knew without a doubt, if I ran, I was going to get wet. Luckily, I had told Greg Cooley and Lee Rodgers I would run with them this morning. Greg had assured me he would call me by 6 if the run would be scratched due to weather. There was no call. I couldn't leave my boys hangin', so out the door I went. The only dry mile was the first one, but it was a good run and I had fun running and chatting with Greg and Lee. Ten miles in the rain felt really good. Here's my week:

Monday: 6 miles

Tuesday: rainout

Wednesday: 6 miles

Thursday: 6 miles

Saturday: 10 miles

Total: 28 miles

Next Saturday, if conditions are right, I would like to run at least 14. 

ANITA BETH UPDATE: She swam two times this week in the lap pool at Shiloh Ridge. I'm proud of her for not letting the fractured hip get her down. If she keeps it up she'll probably be in better shape than ever when the Doc clears her to run.
