21/06 Long Run Thwarted by Torrential Rain

Set out for 25 kms this Morning. Woke up to rain so decided to do house work while waiting for it to clear. Checked the radar on the BOM and saw that the rain was going to clear off. Set out around 9 AM when I got to the kiosk I could see the clouds rolling in again from the west. Got halfway up towards the surf club when the rain came in and I had to turn around. I still had 6 1/2 km to get home. Kept running on the new formula of run four minutes walk one minutes and kept going until I got over the lock. About 150 m after the lock the torrential rain Began. I escaped into an underground driveway to shelter from The rain. As it was still 4 km home I decided to run back 500 m to my sister in law's shop to call for mum to come and collect me.  I was a drowned rat. Needless to say ran around 9.4 km today in a relatively good time of one hour and 19 minutes.
