Be careful what you wish for or what you write in your blog

In an earlier post, I wrote about the joys of running in the winter and/or the rain. Today, I got what was coming to me. After taking the last two days because a cold (that I caught on the way to San Francisco frm JFK) had me feeling like death warmed over, I geared up and went out on my usual run along the bay. Heavy rain at times, sometimes windy, hey no problem, right? RIGHT!! I can do this. Pounding the pavement, trying to avoid the puddles and cars, I was making great progress, until....................................................it started hailing. Then it got a little grim. Add a couple of close calls with some fenders of cars and one UPS truck and I was home free. Wheezing like granny on the Beverly Hillibillies and feeling about as strong as Olive Oil, I crawled up the stairs to the locker room. Made it back to work and here I am, not working! But, I am warm and can gloat about getting in a workout when almost everybody else stayed indoors.
