To set the scene I decided to go for a run last night hoping I’d out run the massive storm predicted for 7:00pm.. That storm didn’t hit until after mid night! So tonight being cocky, I figured I’d go for a run again despite seeing a storm spreading the length of the horizon… Big mistake…

Started out all well and good until about 4klm the storm had crept up and it started spitting, when these were taken from the story bridge:

Moments after this its start pouring so I keep running until I finally made it to the Marriott Hotel, was huddled in the corner for a few moments when the winds started and blew two signs which were deflected but then it pick up this massive door mat and hit me in the face! Haha..

First photo is the door mat in the garden behind me, the second the is the size of the door mat after things had calmed down and it was back where it belonged! After things calmed down I started to run off again which is when the hail hit so I had to run back.. haha!

Anyway eventually made it back to southbank and to car and was saturated… made the most of the distance and still ran all the way! Must have looked like I’d lost it going out for a run despite the weather! The water cushioned socks felt great though.. Haha..
