Technology is amazing. Early this morning technology enabled me to see the current weather radar around my house on my phone, which is when I saw about a 100 mile wide patch of rain with my house smack dab in the middle. Not fun. But I had a secret weapon. Technology came to the rescue in the form of the Brooks Essential Run Vest with super duper water proofing and fairy dust to make me 10 pounds lighter when I run in nasty weather.
I figured I was good, but when I went to strap on my running shoes, I could hear the rain hitting the roof of my house with a vengeance and I started to wonder if technology would fail me...or if I would fail me. Then I opened the door to find a splendid weather channel moment going on in front of me; there was wind, rain, more wind, and more rain, which was when I decided to disappoint the many scientists who worked tirelessly to create the weather proofing technologies on my jacket because I was NOT going out there.
The next 33 minutes found me in the safe confines of my wife's office plodding away on our elliptical trainer, listening to Christmas music from Pandora on the iPad while playing cribbage against the computer.
Technology to the rescue!
