8 miles, easy
80 degrees, THUNDERSTORM

This may as well have been Friday the 13th... I got caught in a huge thunderstorm on my run through RCP. At first it was pretty epic running hard through the park while listening to Lady Gaga with thunder and lightning in the sky, wind bending the trees, and rain falling as intensely as I've ever run in. In all honesty I am lucky I didn't get hurt; my iPhone, not as much. Lesson learned: even a ziplock back can't protect valuable electronics in a downpour.

That said, at least my morning went better than this guy's...
