Getting Caught in the Rain

I drove over to the Saints Simon and Jude overflow parking lot to run the Nature Trail last night.  I watched the 6 o'clock local weather before heading out the door and I swear I heard Gene Norman say that the storms north of us had no chance of making it down to us but seeing them was encouraging in that we'd have a good chance for rain tomorrow. 
The weather didn't seem as hot when I headed out around 7:00.  About 3 miles into my 7 mile loop, it started to thunder and lightening pretty bad.  At that point, the only option I had was to just continue.  With 2 miles to go, the sky opened up and cats and dogs fell to the ground.  I was already soaked before the rain started so it actually felt refreshing.  I only wished I had a hat to keep the rain out of my eyes.  
Not long after the rain started I got the Pina Colada song stuck in my head; it is still with me this morning. Ugh.
