i took this video about 20 minutes ago and as i was uploading it, a lightning and thunder clap scared the hell out of me. good thing it didn't happen while i was taking the video because i would of crapped my pants and there would have been video evidence of that.
feels like a typical summer day here. supposed to be more of the same tomorrow so don't know when i'm going to be able to swim. guess i'll be hitting the Y over the weekend, which is supposed to be real nice.
thankfully, i got in a good 8.25 mile run this morning before all the rain started. it was coming down in sheets on my way home from work and i could barely see. tornado warnings all over the place. glad i made it home safe and dry and i did not see any tornadoes.
i guess it's time to get on the bike for a fast spin to nowhere.
happy friday eve everyone! much love and peace out!
*****************
side note: i did end up being able to swim afterall. the ugly lightning and heavy rain took a break and the Y said, it's a go, so go i did. i feel much better now. thanks to swim buddy for calling me with the update on the Y. i hate feeling like i'm getting behind, especially on the one thing (swimming) that is my weakest link.
my first video upload. obviously, i need tutoring. now gotta go back t oyoutube and figure out how to make it fit on the blog better...duh!
ReplyDeleteLOL about crapping your pants!!!! The lightning was right on us as evidenced by the mere seconds between the flash and the boom!
ReplyDeleteFunny - I was also thinking it felt like summer today. Boo hiss. No fall and now no spring?? UNFAIR!!
at least it is a sign that warmer weather his here! stay safe! looks nasty out there! Cheers
ReplyDeleteKC -- When your in the "compose" page while doing your new post, in the upper right hand corner click on "edit html" (or something like this) and change the width of the video clip. I think I usually knock it down to 425, it is listed in two spots and you have to change both. It should fit then!
ReplyDeleteSucks about the rain ... at least you got your workouts in!! I saw snakes today ... the only downside of summer!
Jeff - thanks for that tech tip. something so simple. i know it's getting t be summer when i'm eating gnats throughout my ride...and seeing rattlesnakes galore(dead or alive).
ReplyDeleteI hate stormy weather with a passion. Good for you for getting your run and swim in! Hope the weekend returns to better weather!
ReplyDeleteI am remember weather like that. Growing up in Kansas we saw many a day of tremendous rain storms and tornados and of course our high school mascot was a tornado! I am glad you got your swimming in!
ReplyDeleteGlad we got it in! I don't think I even would have thought to ask if I had seen your blog post first -- boy, the weather was nasty up here yesterday!
ReplyDeletelove thunder and lightning storms! Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were able to get your swim in. I still haven't gotten mine in yet. Looks like I will be mashing all my missed training into this weekend when we finally get some nice weather. Have a great weekend and happy training!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting ready for a race that is known for its lightening...Yeah, um, not looking good out there. That CAN make you crap your pants and run faster.
