Well, I pretty much did nothing for the rest of the day. Every time I thought it might clear up enough to have a swim the thunder would start up again and we’d get more rain. So just played around on the computer for part of it and walked around outside when it wasn’t raining looking at how sad some of the plants looked. Oh yes, and I still had to water a couple of plants. There’s always somewhere the rain doesn’t hit.

So I did manage to get my cardio done this morning. I started off walking around the pool (stepping over the cat) but felt that heel rubbing a bit so I stopped at 20 mins and put a band-aid over it. Funny, but it didn’t bother me at all on the treadmill yesterday. It must have something to do with how I’m walking on the concrete outside. So I decided to do another 2 sets of 20 mins, but at about 7 mins… I had to pee. I thought I could ignore it, but nope, no way. So I stopped at 10 mins. I did finish off with a 30 min walk though.

It’s a good thing I did it this morning though. It suddenly got warmer and at the moment it’s pouring rain out. Oh and I love this piece of our current weather warning:

“A FEW OF THESE STORMS ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL OF 50 TO LOCALLY 75 MM. ISOLATED STORMS MAY SUPPORT LARGE HAIL TO 3 CM AND BRIEF STRONG WIND GUSTS AS WELL. BRIEF FUNNEL CLOUDS MAY ALSO FORM WITH A TOUCH DOWN POSSIBLE.”

50mm = 1.9685 inches (whole lot of rain)… and funnel clouds… hey, just say the word… tornado.

I joke about it, and I shouldn’t. We don’t get a lot of them here but I know other places do. The only quick information I could find was that between 1984-1997 different counties here in the vicinity got anywhere from zero to 12 of them. Also, I’m sitting in the only county that had none. The yearly average is 14, and most of them are small, doing only minor damage. Hail we’ve had two or three times this year. I could do without hail today as some of my beefsteak tomatoes are starting to get bigger.

Anyway, just adding my cardio information for the moment.

From the HR monitor:

I haven’t decided what I’m going to do this afternoon… probably nothing. I’m not really in the mood to cook, and I’d have to shop to keep going. I was thinking of making some pizza shells for the freezer, however, I’ve got tentative meals planned until Sunday so I might leave it until Tuesday of next week so we could have a fresh pizza that night.
