Have you ever gone for a swim while running? Check.

Have you ever been stranded by rushing water?  Check

Exhilerating run this morning.  The parkway has never been so alive.  Started in the coolness of the evening rain and as I continued, the rain returned.  I soon found myself in a downpour.  I decided to just enjoy the rain and enjoy the run - completely soaked.  Due to time and inclement weather, the run had to be truncated. 

On the return route, I noticed the water roaring off the dirt hills North of the parkway on the North side of the freeway.  Wondering where all that water was going to end up soon came to an end as debris and a wall of water was blocking my pathway to safety.  I thought that I was going to have to brave the waters but a nice gentleman in a truck offered to carry me to safety.  I hitched a ride - and gained some great time on that stretch of the run :)  All in all, I got wet.     (Kinvara 2 Black:  91)

ps  There was a shirtless sighting.......
