Nice. Just got back from a run around False Creek after being away for the better part of two weeks in Costa Rica. Now, I’d didn’t expect the run to feel great as, while away, I only managed to get one run in – that being about 35 minutes of getting my butt kicked in 35 C degree heat with probably somewhere around 90% humidity (a run though a tropical rain forest – who’d have thought?). So, when I headed out around False Creek, I was hoping to just get the legs and lungs working again. No great expectations.
What I didn’t count on, though, was getting pummeled for ¾ of the run … BY HAIL (including a direct hit stinger to my already erect right nipple – ouch!). By the time I got through my run I was sloshing through a centimeter of the stuff on the ground.
WTF is up with the weather here? Anybody ever hear of Spring?! Did you guys skip the Equinox or something while I was in the Tropics? Now I’m always up for a good laugh just as much as the next guy but this is taking it a little too far.
Now, I’m planning on doing a trail run on the Shore tomorrow morning and I expect there to be a significant improvement in the weather around here or that’s it! I’m out of here! I mean it! Really!

How's your nipple?
Back off big fella
The weather looks up!
Maybe April Fools Day is earlier this year....
That would sure account for all the Pure Foolishness runs we've been doing.
It was no picnic downtown on Granville either, Bill. I observed quite a few people caught unaware and unprepared for the onslaught of hailstones for 90 minutes in the warmth of a big comfy chair in Starbucks.
There were definitely some diamond cutters out there!
Hope your run in the trails is relatively milder.
Welcome back.
