central park transformed into the jungle last night! as i started my run i could see the storm lingering over the west side of the island. i figured id do a quick 4 mile loop and be back home before the clouds cut loose.
id never seen the park look they way it did last night. the roads i know so well felt foreign and a little eerie. its was damp, dark and humid, almost like those reptile caves at the zoo. on my way across the 102nd street transverse i noticed hundreds of flickering little lightening bugs, something ive only ever seen in connecticut. it was beautiful to see the park in this new way.
as i turned onto the final mile of my run there was chaos in the sky and then down came the rain. buckets and buckets of rain. there was nothing i could do about it so i just kept running. i had to get home anyway!
the rain came down harder, the wind blew stronger, and then there was the thunder. the part that i was most awed by was that no one running seemed fazed by the weather around us. it was awesome.
i finally made it home, soaked to the bone and smiling.
feet felt great this morning a little tight, but as far as the training goes, we're back in business!
