Boooooo for rain

I was supposed to run 5 miles today.  Since I was still sore last night, I decided I would do my 5 miles tonight.  I was waiting until 7pm so it would still be light but not as hot.  Kind of a fail.  I was dressed and just waiting for the temperature to drop a little more when I heard thunder and looked outside and I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"  The sky was getting darker but it hadn't started to rain and the temperature had really dropped.  So I just darted out the door and started running.  I couldn't do the loop I had planned near my parents house because I wanted to stay close so if it did start pouring I would be able to get back home asap.  I made it to about 38 minutes before the drizzling rain came and the thunder got louder.  So I rushed home.  I got 4.4 miles in so I'm not too upset.  I could have easily just not have gone, I was thinking about it.  Rain wasn't the big issue, it was the rain + thunder.  It was a good run, just wish I had left like 6 minutes earlier so I could have got the whole 5 in.  O well, I gotta do ab work tonight so I'll just work harder on that.
