4:30 am came very fast this morning. I heard my alarm, turned it off and wanted to go back to sleep. But that darn commitment to training got me out of bed eventually. When I went downstairs, I looked outside and saw lightning. I looked closer and saw that everything was dry. So I decided I would head out and see if anyone else showed up. At the very least I could go to the gym and do something.
When I got to the high school (our Monday meeting place) there were already three people there. Then more showed up. I guess we were running!
We were treated to a light show as we went out. The "heat lightning" was incredible this morning. Bolts of lightning snaking their way through the clouds giving the illusion of clouds on fire. It was an amazing site. One I would have missed if I had slept through this run or decided to not venture out.
Good five miles this morning. Fast, yet fun. Summer has definitely set in. All I keep thinking is that Columbus in October can't be this bad...at least I am praying it's not this bad!
By the way, I was never nervous about running outside this morning. I run with runners who have years of experience. If they're not worried about the weather, then I don't worry about the weather.
