In the Storm

Reading Weather maps will not be added to any skills list I may have. Thinking I had an hour to get in a three and a half or four mile trail run I headed out.

A mile and a half into the run the woods suddenly went “Headlamp Dark”; I realized right then I had miscalculated, knowing what I was about to be in for.

Lighting crackled, providing stroboscopic lighting of trail and trees. Wind gusted throwing limbs everywhere and a entire tree a mere hundred feet away. Trail turned into stream as torrents of rain pounded down.

Soaked, turned around and heading home I enjoyed the most invigorating run I've had in some time.
