After 25 years of running I can say definitively that today’s run was the most unpleasant ever. I got caught in a violent hailstorm with no shirt (it was 79° F when I left home). After 10-15 minutes of pelting I was able to find shelter. I stood soaking wet in the howling wind for 20 minutes with my skin stinging and my scalp aching. Once the hail let up I ran home on sidewalks flooded with shin deep frigid water. I couldn’t feel my feet for the last mile. I’m bruised all over and my skin is still tingling hours later.
