Lightning Run

Running in a lightning storm and sudden down pour.  That's what happened to me on Sunday evening.  I had gone on a walk around 9.  I could see lightning in the distance but thought nothing of it as I would not be gone that long.  The walk started out just find with the occasional flash of light in the night sky.  I went and walked down through SUU and around the football stadium.  As I was coming up from the stadium I began to feel rain.  After a bit I was feeling a lot of rain and I the lightning was much closer.  I began running home in an effort to get out of the situation.  I sprinted between trees and the cover they provided.  In the end I was soaked through.  Though I was setting out to enjoy a nice walk it ended up being a mad dash for home and a fairly exciting one at that.  Every time the lightning flashed I thought about it getting closer and closer and then began to think things like 'what if I get struck by lightning?  That is always a pleasant thought.  No need to contemplate that question when your outside and stuck in the middle of a lightning storm with crazy amounts of rain pouring down on you.    I don't recommend going out and  running in thundershowers.
