Today’s Run: \u00a07.62 miles<\/p>\n

We woke early this morning to a thunderstorm (3:00 a.m.). \u00a0We had to get up at 4:00 to get ready for the running group so we just stayed up. \u00a0Besides, the dog was scared. \u00a0It was 77 degrees.<\/p>\n

We left the house at 5:30 for the running group and we still had that thunderstorm raging. \u00a0It was firmly planted over our house, it seemed. We figured that we would drive out of it on our way to Starkville to run. \u00a0Nope.<\/p>\n

We left the meeting house in Starkville to begin our run at 6:00 a.m. \u00a0It was still 77 degrees! \u00a0Very warm for a run and the thunderstorm was still in full tilt! \u00a0Still, we got on the road, again thinking that the storm would\u00a0dissipate. \u00a0Nope again! \u00a0It actually got worse.<\/p>\n

The lightning got real bad. \u00a0The hair on the back of my neck was standing straight up with each strike. \u00a0I was very glad to be a vertically challenged person!<\/p>\n

Soon, a Jeep Wrangler pulled up. \u00a0“Get in!” he said. \u00a0It was the “lightning police”. \u00a0The husband of one of our runners was unhappy that his wife and ourselves were out in the storm and he came to put an end to our stupidity. \u00a0So, five adults were crammed into the back of that Jeep and we boogied on back to the White’s house where we waited out the lightning.<\/p>\n

We did have the privilege of repeating the first 1 1\/2 miles of the run (do not pass “Go” do not get $200.00) due to our very generous ride back the the White’s. \u00a0Safety first!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
