I ran home after group meeting as the dark clouds started to roll in. After about 4 miles, the skies opened up and it started pouring and thundering and lightning. Like any runner, I dreaded getting soaked in the first place but once the initial discomfort was over I enjoyed it. Toward the end of the run the rain stopped, but not the thunder and I jumped in shock at one point as a colossal boom caught me on unawares expecting the storm had already passed.
