Crazy Weather!

Yesterday was a long day of travel, SFO to Washington, D.C. Plus, I made it here just in time as it opened up raining like hell on the drive from Dulles into DC and there was wind and lightning and I guess that they shut down all flights for a couple of hours. I didn't get to the hotel until nearly 7PM EDT and I eventually found the workout room and ran 20 minutes on the treadmill. There is a pool here at the hotel (Hotel Palomar) but it's only about 15 yards long and doesn't open until 10AM!!! Even the Starbucks next door doesn't open until 6AM! They open at 5-something in SF.

After a very short night of sleep (gotta hate going east) I went to the workout room and did a 20 minute run again. Felt better tonight than last night. I was running and looking out in the dark at the pool and I was wondering if they had a Jacuzzi on since the water was "boiling" and then I realized that it was pouring rain! And lightning and thunder. And it still was when it was time to go to dinner so I ate at the hotel and not down the street.

Plus, there was another huge, quick storm this afternoon. We were up on the 14th floor in a big conference room out in Virginia and we watched it roll in. It got really dark then started sheeting down rain and lightning lit up the sky followed by thunder. I've not seen weather like that in a long time!
