--Richard Branson
I saw the first flashes of lightning far in the distance, northwards over the Maryland side of the Potomac. No problem, I reasoned, I'm going to do a quick 6 and be home before this thing rolls over me.
Just as I reached my turnaround point at the 3 mile marker, the lightning began erupting all around me, bringing with it torrential rains and booming thunder. I don't avoid running due to inclement weather. If that were the case, I would be a hobby-jogger and find an excuse every day to stay in: it's too hot, too cold, too rainy, too snowy, etc. But lightning is a different beast. That stuff will kill you and I avoid it like a mouse avoids the hawk.
Tomorrow, intervals.
