    Mile 1: Thick fog- freezing fog I believe since it was slick (and below freezing).

    Mile 2: A few big rain drops, but enough to clear the fog a bit.

    Mile 3: WIND.  Lots of WIND.

    Mile 3.5 Extra large cold puddle now in left shoe

    Mile 4: Lightning.  Then DOWNPOUR.  Hardest rain I've ever run in. Needless to say the puddle half a mile ago doesn't really matter anymore!

    Mile 5: Rain lets up.

    Mile 5.7 Hail. Ok, really?!

     

    (Laughing while I write this of course Smile )

     

    Now how the HECK am I supposed to score THAT for the Winter Running Contest?!

      Yikes!  Can you check *all* the boxes?  Glad you got home safely!

        Oh my goodness.  I might have started crying when the hail started.    That is quite the weather, glad you can laugh about it and that you made it home in one piece.

        hop, hop, hop...

          Anyway to select "all of the above" on the weather conditions?

          (and I think that just beat my HM in single digit temps!)

           

          Go you for sticking it out though!

            That is epic! You deserve all the multipliers on there, so take 'em!

            We are having a bout with fog right now here(ran 18 in it with rain on Sunday), and they say it might not dry off before we dip below freezing and then get snow ontop. Fabulous! I guess I should trade in for running shoes for ice skates!
