Severe weather warning ⚠️

[blackcatgib]

Ankle deep,

Vision blurring,

Hail beating,

Rain.

Drops pound and crackle

On my hood

It rustles and crackles

A storm of its own.

Feet pound and splash;

Centre of the foot

Makes contact ...

With water.

Breath gasps

A down pipe gushes

A laugh gurgles

Drains spew water.

To shelter or to run?

Keep warm or chill ?

One foot in front of the other,

Traffic slows

Walkers disappear

Forecast watchers!

Hail slows

Darkness brightens

Hair drips

Shoes soaked;

Still I glow

💦💦💦💦

A good poem "blackcatgib", way to go, you and Buttercupkid can get together and write running poems for C25K runners to various pieces of music.

Lovely. It sums up the madness, and the joy!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Wonderful! Now there’s a run I want to go on... bring on the storm!

[Katnap Graduate]

Hah! Another strange breed of cat that enjoys the rain!

Although it is more enjoyable with waterproof socks. My favourite running gear experiment! 😸

I could see this fitting the rhythm of a jog. Saying it over and over whilst breaking down those mental barriers
