As I was leaving work today, I started to feel a couple of drops of rain falling upon me. Got on the trail and sprinted the 6.5 miles home, with that storm biting at my heels. Get home and kicked that storms @ss, had to wait about 10 min for the downpour, luckily I avoided it. Nothing quite like racing mother nature, seeing black clouds behind me the entire way.

Just thought I would share.
