Nothing like a run in a hail storm...

So today we had our Dante class in the morning which was a bit rough since we were all out pretty late lastnight celebrating finishing our midterm art papers. We all made it through though. On the walk home I stopped at the fruit market to buy some cherries. After numerous attempts of trying to see if Matt could catch a cherry in his mouth we decided we better do something else with our lives. I finally convinced Matt even though he is living off of two hours of sleep he should go run with me. When we left home it was just cloudy but as we got further into our run it grew darker and darker. Pretty soon a HUGE storm blew up. It started to lightening and thunder then pour of course while we were in the park surrounded by thousands of trees and the arno...not too smart haha. We decided to tough it out since we were already soaked until it began to hail! It wasn't just small little pieces of hail either they were HUGE I have never seen anything like it. So instead of getting pelted the entire way home we took shelter under a hotel awning. After about ten minutes it lightened up and we continued on. Our clothes and sneakers probably weighed an extra ten pounds. We finally made it back and as expected our 3 other roommates laughed at us when they saw how soaked we were. I just took a hot shower to warm up. I feel so guilty staying in on these free afternoons but the weather is atrocious right now!
