Description from Strava:
I have pinched a title from AC/DC, but it is silly as you never get struck by thunder. It is lightning that does the striking. Anyway, I did hear some thunder out there today.
I could not think where to run today, so I went with my usual loop. There was some really heavy rain in the night, but it was not looking too bad. This was really a plod as I was not feeling like pushing too hard. I think parkrun yesterday drained me. If I had been doing the event in Letchworth today then I think I would have had a rest day before. Last year I was doing some challenge and running most days. That resulted in a pretty bad 5k for me.
There were a few damp patches and the slugs were out again this morning. I try not to tread on them. There were a few spots of rain at around half way, but it was not too bad. I took the long way around Stotfold where they have made some new footpaths. The road was closed for a while, so I assume other work was done. There is still some going on and the guys were working on a Sunday.
I took the Astwick road to pick up the long straight across the fields. It was somewhere around then that the rain started again and it got heavy. By the time I got back to Arlesey I was soaked, so I took the direct route home. The rain on my glasses makes it hard to see. I was nearly home when I could really hear the thunder, but I assume it was not too near.
I had to strip off and dry myself before I could have breakfast and then a shower. It has dried up now so we can get on with some work in the garden. We are having new paving and need to just mark it out.
I know some friends are doing the Great North Run today. I hope the weather is not too bad for them. You do not want it too hot, but then rain can make it harder. I know it was very mixed last year.
Run free!
