Got up early to go for a long run. My plan was to head from Point Clear to Fairhope. Thunder greeted me as I got dressed and round one of many rounds of storms slammed the area. Mobile has received 15.1 inches of rain with this system and I knew I’d have to thread a needle to try to get my run in. I headed out and got on the excellent running trail along Old Hwy. 98. It was a slight uphill run into Fairhope and my heart rate was in the low 140’s (even with the humidity). I got the the downtown area and turned around and looked at the sky. 
Crud. It was black.
I was 2.5 miles out and had to get back. So much for a long run. I had to hustle to get back before the storm hit.
I didn’t make it.
With about two miles remaining, I saw the wall of water heading my way. Three minutes later I was running the hardest rain I’ve seen since a tropical system dumped 25 inches on my house in Conroe, Texas. My shoes soon got soaked. The lightning encouraged me to pick up my pace.
I finally made it home and was soaked. And I regret I could not have run faster.
So I did what every Southerner does to soothe his wounds after a shortened run. I went to the buffet.
Hahaha! Yep that’s about right. Wow that’s a lot of rain. I feel sorry for all the vacationers down there.
Glad you were ok other than being soaked.
