Lightening Karma

Sometimes I think that all of the time we spent wishing for lightening as age group swimmers has come back to haunt me as a masters swimmer. This morning I got up at 4:45 to go to swim practice (and get there early to do a little extra), and I noticed lightening as soon as I turned onto Boat Club (near my house). I thought that maybe the weather would be traveling east and it would be fine in Benbrook. It got better as I drove down 820, but then I noticed a bunch of lightening as soon as I got close to Benbrook. Sure enough, the pool was closed. So I used the locker room there and got ready for work, but what a waste of a morning. The good news is I filled up on gas for $1.29/gallon (hooray for Benbrook and the new QT). I have an appointment with Dr. Brian at 1:30 today, and I get done with work at 3:00. I'm going to workout for a few hours at the federal gym and then stay downtown this evening since I'm meeting some friends for dinner.
