It was Bound to Happen Sometime!


Since I took yesterday as a rest day, I was ready for a good run this morning.  It was a little misty out, but that's not unusual.  I headed to my usual route - Diamond Head, going counterclockwise today.  After running the complete loop around the crater, I stopped at about the 7 mile mark to stretch a little.  I had a text message from Les asking if the roads were wet.  "Yep.  Getting sprinkled on now."  That sprinkle turned into a full on downpour that I ran in for the final 1.5 miles!


My forehead was dripping the entire time today - first from sweat, then from rain!  Nothing like a good downpour to make you pick up the pace at the end!
