Why Risk It?

I snuck in my morning run between rain showers.  Today and tomorrow are supposed to be thunderous.  That's January in Houston.  The forecast for Sunday morning?  30 percent chance of rain. 

Tomorrow I've got a 4 mile run on my schedule, followed by 2 on Thursday.  I'm thinking I may need to consider the stationary bike instead of that 4 miler.  I'm don't want to take any chances on running in the blinding rain - at least not before I have to.  If that's what the weather holds for Sunday, I'll do it.

I worked a couple consults with my boss yesterday.  We saw someone on the 4th floor and next stop was floor 2.  Instead of heading for the elevators, he went for the stairs.  I was sooooooo careful walking those two flights down.  I could just imagine me falling and breaking a leg after all these months.  Kind of silly, really.  I'm probably in the best physical condition I've been in for my entire adult life.  Stairs shouldn't be an issue anymore.

I've been washing my hands like crazy and avoiding crowds.  I'd be really pissed if I caught a cold or this upper respiratory stuff that's going around.

I wonder if I have any bubble wrap...might be an interesting fashion choice for the rest of the week.  Sweaty, but interesting.
