5 easy miles on the Sun Prairie bike path - to the woods and back. Heard thunder and noticed the sky turning dark grey, so I turned around to head for home. But I did not beat the storm. At first, there was a light rain and that felt great. I rarely get the chance to run in rain, so I was enjoying that fresh rain smell. The rain drops were BIG, and eventually it started pouring when I was about a mile from my grandparent's house. Then, it started HAILING when I was about a half mile from home - which was even better than rain! I doubt I'll get the chance to run in hail (or rain for that matter) for a long time! I got a few odd glances from motorists as I sprinted through the rain and hail with a huge smile plastered on my face! Rain, however, has a downside - wet feet!
