a little hail and a whole lot of happiness

i've really been getting the urge the last couple days to run long.

its been 2 weeks since the marathon.

and boy, have i missed running.

i love that "urge", that feeling, to run...

its a great feeling...

the anticipation...

i was so excited when i woke up this morning to go run.

planned on going slow.

just enjoying the run.

all 12 miles of it.

set out this morning at 7 with my tunes

within ten minutes it was drizzling.

no big deal.

wore my new rain jacket,

had my gloves & hat on

no problem.

then it was pouring...loved it :)

i was only about 3 miles into my run

huge lightening lit up the sky.

rain...i like

lightening...i don't

turned around and headed home.

a little bummed,

but i was sloshing in the rain

so i could only smile.

the raindrops were huge...

and then they turned into hail

little hail ball were falling all round me.

and i just laughed.

made it back home

and was soaked,

but i was happy :)

not the 12 miles i was hoping for,

but any day i get to run is a good day.
