They have the ability to get me to run faster! :) I've been running in a thunderstorm (last summer), and when I saw lighting and was about a mile away from home, I did run that mile a little faster than I would have. Yesterday was the hail/ice pellet storm. I went for a run at the park, and planned on doing 5 miles. It started off fairly nice. It was cloudy but the sun started to peak out and I was able to take off my jacket, and was comfortable. On the last lap it started to get a little colder, and then it started to rain/snow little ice pellets the size of bb's. They hurt when they hit! I was laughing though, and enjoying it :) But I just wanted to be done, get into the warm car, and get home to eat lunch. I was able to push myself a little bit near the end, and finished the 5 miles in 1:01:24. My fastest 5 mile run yet, and if not for the cramp I had for the last 2 laps, and the few mins of walking I had to do, I think I could have been under 1 hour. But next time!
But it was a great run. Despite the weather. It smelled like spring, the birds were out, the ducks were swimming, the geese were pissy :)
