remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

"Today I broke my record for most consecutive days lived!"
We have had a really wild Spring and Summer in Boston, I can't remember so many thunderstorms in one year. I'm shocked that I've only had to reschedule two runs, my luck has been inexplicably good.

Get back up!
Lots of tropical weather here in Greater Boston this week. Hot, humid and t-storms every day. Some parts of the state got 3 inches of rain overnight - just torrential rain. Thought I had a window this morning to get my 5 mile steady run in. A light rain is better than the dreadmill. I thought I even saw a little sun peeking out. But less than a mile in, the sky opened up and it came down in sheets. "It's OK", I thought. "I remembered the Glide so my nipples will be alright. You can just run through it and it'll pass." Then the flash and then the thunder. So, 180 degree turn and my easy/steady 5 miler turned into a 2.8 mile tempo run with a sprint for the last 1/4 mile. A minute after I got in the house there was a bright flash and loud crack of thunder that woke my kids up. My wife was happy to see that I was in the house. This after 10 people were hurt - 4 critically - by a lightning strike in Boston Sunday, about 15 miles from my house. Ah well, run a little longer tomorrow I guess - that is if my stuff dries by then.
