Milan River Run

June 21, 2008 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 70 Bad Thunderstorm

Comments:
I was really--even irrationally--afraid something bad was going to happen to me running in this bad of a storm way out in the country. I ran extremely tight the whole way and cramped up at the end. The wind, rain, and hail ranged from light to brutal and there were points where I was practically walking into the wind and had no visibility. When I got back to my car, I was pretty much sprinting and climbed in immediately, so I will most likely be feeling it tomorrow. The moral of the story is that I need to plan ahead and not run alone in the middle of nowhere during a severe thunderstorm. Ignoring everything else, this wasn't even a good run.
