I should have known better, as I’ve been running for many years.  Nevertheless, I planned a longer run even though the weather forecast looked ominous.  Maybe I could beat the storm clouds, I thought to myself.  I bet wrong.  A few miles from home the winds began to blow and the skies opened up.  As luck would have it, I was in a rural area with no place to seek shelter. Fortunately there was very little lightning; just torrential wind and rain.
