Hail running

I had quite an experience yesterday. 

 

I left for my 30 min afternoon run, and after a few minutes clouds rolled in to what had been a sunny sky, and a gentle rain started. A couple of minutes after that, hail started, luckily with only smallish hailstones. I was already a bit of a distance away from home, so I figured I was getting wet anyway, I might as well carry on. The hail was then torrential, and coming in at a 45 degree angle. I took cover a couple of time, as the stinging of hailstones was getting quite extreme. In places, I was running through ankle-deep water on the roads. 

 

I made it back home after 25 min on the road, and finished up my 30 min in my garage (I need at least 30 min at 70% of max heart rate to get fitness points), and had to dump wet clothes and shoes there. 

 

What a run!
