Motely of Weather for September's End

Today is going to be my long run to end the month of September. I thought 9 miles would be good plus an extra one. Saturday's a.m. run was a bit cool but still nice and comfortable wear shorts weather.

When I looked up I saw some heavy dark clouds. No rain just the darkness of the clouds. I felt I would be ok. As I ran, around mile three I saw lightening in those dark clouds. Not just once but a couple of times. My thoughts--" oh oh".  Still no rain.

The dark clouds with the lightening were in front of me and to my right, I could see the sun trying to come up and break through the clouds. So odd.

Then around mile 5 it started to rain. Light drizzle. At mile 7 the torrential downpour happened. I had to stop and stay for a bit. It came down so hard and it was cold rain. The longer I stood, my body was getting stiff. After 10 mins I had to run.

At that point I just ran. Then the rain stopped. Talk about motivation to run faster. :)
