Had my running clothes on and headed for the door and I heard rain.  It was coming down pretty good.  I pretty much gave up on the run.  But I dinked around and 20 minutes later it stopped.  I really wanted to make a run at my training 5k PR of 33:14.  I figured the rain was over and it cooled things down and I would be able to pull it off.  Shortly after I got started the wind really picked up.  I turned into a strong headwind for a mile.  Weather underground shows the wind speed for that time at 48 mph with gusts up to 68.  So while I didn't beat my time I feel I am now above where I was before.  The lightning got scary for a bit.

That was some Arizona Desert Monsoon we got last night. I guess.

Finally, I am tired of the heat. I'll be hiking in the huachucas the next couple of days.
