I managed to squeeze a short two mile run into my day. Winds were getting fierce and there are now strong thunderstorms and tornadoes firing up in Oklahoma.

Heat and humidity kicked my butt today. I had hoped to do a bit more in the time that I had available but had to dial it back once I got hot.

The weather interfered a bit with my plans for an 8 mile run. The storms were moving around to the northwest but I hadn't been bothered by them even running the last mile or so in a light rain. However, at 6.25 I was near the truck and stopped to get a drink when I noticed the lightning and heard the thunder. That was my cue to stop for the day.
