wild, weather running

We have had a wild winter - from a week of cancelled school due to snow, to sunny days in February (unheard of!) to wind and rain and hail - every day something new. 
Yesterday started with a bit of snow that turned to rain.  The sun was trying very hard to come out but it was still pretty cold.  We put on our vests, I grabbed gloves and a head band, and we headed out to run.  I was feeling a bit draggy and the wind was picking up so we turned around after 1.5 miles.  The gusts of wind nearly blew us off the path but we pushed on.  Then we felt a few rain drops - better pick up the pace we said.  But we were running right into a hail storm!  We finally veered off the trail to seek shelter near a tree but it was apparent that this was not going to let up soon so we took off and ran as fast as we could, back to the car.  Wet, cold, and winded, we toweled off, grabbed some dry jackets, and headed into Starbucks for a warm cup of tea.  It was crazy but it was also pretty fun - at least once we were out of it :)
