Not meant to be

I had planned on going for another run this afternoon.  The last time I looked at the weather the prediction was for cold temps but clear skies and that's what I woke up to this morning.  However, about the time I was thinking I might get ready for a run I noticed that the wind had picked up a bit.  Then, when I really paid attention to what was going on outside, I realized that garbage cans and various patio furniture could be seen blowing down the street.  I checked the web and it said "feels like 29" with gusts up to 40 mph.  Ummm, yeah.  Not gonna run in that.  So I headed to the Y for a run on the treadmill.  Before I even got half a mile into it the building lost all power.  If you want a really good laugh watch a row of people running on treadmills when the power goes out.  We all just about hurled ourselves into/over the display panel when the belt came to a sudden stop.  I think fate was just plain against me today.  I'll try again tomorrow.
