Comments: Remembered sunblock & body glide (for chafing) ✅ Hail! About 20 minutes into the run, a passing rainshower drenched the area, and even had some small light hail pellets bouncing off me. Not so bad, but it messed with my phone screen & earbuds a bit. The runoff water made it a bit tricky. Caught a rainbow on photo. Began listening to new audiobook, which suggested listening to Earth, Wind & Fire's That's the Way of the World. Oh man, I hit play on that and was transported for the next 6 minutes, running on air. Of course I had heard it before, but it hit different on the home stretch and was so nice. Directly led to my best pace of the run, ha.
