Wussing Out
No speedwork for me tonight. I got home a bit late - not because I left work late, but because I had to wait 20 minutes for a bus once I got off the el. Ah, the joys of the CTA. I left my apartment with exactly enough time to get to the track, provided there wasn't another 20-minute bus wait. I saw the storm clouds in the sky and almost headed directly back inside, but decided I'd at least get there and see if the weather held before bailing.Luckily, there was a bus coming along right as I got to the main road. However, when the bus got to the el station, I saw lightning and the skies opened up. Pouring rain and lightning? Not part of my deal. Especially not when I have someplace indoors to wait for a bus to take me back home.
While I was waiting for a bus home, hail came crashing down, and the pouring rain continued. It was then that my relief at not being out in that weather overwhelmed my guilt at skipping out of speedwork. Sure, by the time I got home, the worst of the rain had stopped and it was just windy, cold and drizzly, so I probably would have been fine, but that's OK. There's always next week.
(Well, really there's always the week after next, but that just doesn't have the same ring to it.)

So...why is it you didn't run again? I'm seeing talk of rain, lightning and hail, but I'm not seeing reasons not to run.
Also, when I saw the title of the post, I first thought, "Damnit, is she telling everybody I didn't go to the party this weekend!?" Hello, paranoia!
