Crash Bang Rain!

As always there was a plan but with a storm on the way I thought I would get in a quick 8 k.
I could see the lightning approaching and hear the rain but I was 4k from home and there was no short cut. So as I turned for home the slow rain began and just for a second I thought " This aint so bad". That's when a huge crack of lightning hit and my legs went in different directions trying to escape. My heart skipped a couple of beats and the adrenalin started to flow. I picked up the pace and almost broke out into a sprint. About 2k to go the rain came down in buckets and I could no see very well let alone run at a good pace. By the time I got home I was saturated
but still feeling good I had at least gotten out for a run.
Rest tonight then a 22-29k in the morning.
Take care.

Wonder what conditions will be like for K2D? The first time I ran it (back in 2001 when I did the lot) it was perfect - overcast and not so hot ... well, nowhere near as hot as subsequent years.

Keep up the good work!
