Running in Lightning

Today I got off work and was tired as hell so what ever to do? Go for a run of course, as I drove home I looked into the pink sky filled with puffy white clouds and thought about how great it would be to get out on the road. Then I looked behind me and noticed the distinct black clouds of a thunderstorm approaching and as if on cue saw lighting flash down from the looming beast. The smile grew on my face as I hurried to beat the storm home.

I LOVE TO RUN IN THUNDERSTORMS! About 2 min before a thunderstorm hits there is this moment of complete silence, the air feels different as if it is just waiting for something. The quintessential calm before the storm. I love this feeling the anticipation all the wonderful colors the line that breaks the sky between serenity and pure chaos. I got goose bumps while I was running today as I approached the darkness and saw the lightning getting closer and closer.

The great thing about the east is that the rain from the thunderstorms is warm. It’s not the cold miserable rain like in Seattle, no this rain is different for some reason. It’s like taking a shower right before the hot water heater runs out.

I ran today through the thunderstorm and cleared my head. The water cleared the cobwebs from my brain and the lighting strikes get my adrenaline going and reminded me of all the exciting things I had been missing while I sat behind my desk.

That’s it,
