Thunderstorms!

I woke up to this beautiful sunrise this morning. Nothing beats waking up to the birds chirping, a pretty sky, and nice weather.

Speaking of which, I didn’t even THINK to check the weather because of how nice it was. I had a 15 mile run on tap, so decided to go 7.5 out and 7.5 back…… just as I was about 7 miles from home, the clouds started rolling in. Before I knew it I was FULLY engulfed in thunder, lightning, and the absolute worst downpour I have EVER run it. The thunder boomers made my heart rate increase as I literally jumped from being scared from a few of them! It was fun once it was over. I felt tired the first 5 or so miles but then settled in to about an 8:30 pace and felt better by the end. I actually could wring out my clothes afterwards, but hey I still enjoyed it! Right as I got home, the sun came back out for a bit too!

I worked at Marathon Sports the rest of the day, and really enjoyed the people I worked with. Besides a few cumbersome customers, I had a really good day at work too! Now time to relax, sauna, and get ready for tomorrow!

Are you team thunderstorm or not? Do you like to run in the rain?
