With a Tstorms ability to "pop" up I know that the risk (lightening) can be produced looong before the storm is visible, knowing that reminds me that I am at risk during the spring and fall anytime the barometric pressure is favorable for storms. But my chances a greater that a car will hit them than a lightening strike. I won't head out in one but I won't end a run either.Shellyrm ~ just a country runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822262051285512641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37373654.post-8652568305441915692011-06-07T15:01:06.601-04:002011-06-07T15:01:06.601-04:00I would play it safe too!!
