Headed out at about 11:40, today, and it was lightly raining. I had to watch my step, because the roads were wet. It feels so good to run while it's lightly raining-- it's like a built-in swamp cooler for your run (very nice). Turned around at 3.4 miles and headed back. At about mile 5, it started hailing. It was a hurts-so-good kind of moment. The little balls of hail were cool and icy, but they stung a little bit (weird combo to say the least).
Insight of the day: Some of the best runs I've ever had-- have been in weather that "appeared" to be to yucky to run in. If I apply to this to my life, I could say that some things look yucky/unappealing/difficult, but I'm thinking that there's often hidden/not-yet-seen blessings and enjoyment in them. They're pleasant surprises. :>)

Is the gathering place kaput?
No, it still exists for archival purposes:

I like to run at night -
Running at night is awesome. I usually feel like I'm running faster and have more energy at night. Do you have any problems with being able to go to sleep at night when you run?
i say hail would improve my speed and therefore my time...maybe running in bad weather is a good way to improve that?
I think you're on to something, Jamison. I get hyper when it's cold and feel refreshed and usually see better time in the cold. In the heat, I'm a melting snowman.
