Ran from my house, up the new trail heading north, crossed 54 and then into Starkey Ranch until I reached the building at the lake. When I started the run I thought my big problem would be that it would get hot (started at 8:41), but the cloud cover was nice and then it got a little darker and then there was a light rain. Used the water fountain and waited a little for the rain to die down which it did after a few minutes, so got going again to head home.
Then the rain returned, and with just over a mile to go to get to Longleaf it really started to come down hard. Then there was thunder and I could tell the lightning strikes were getting too close for comfort. Ran pretty fast, made it to Starkey Blvd just as I saw lightning and nearly at the same time heard the thunder. Texted Andy for a ride back but wasn't sure if he'd see it so I also texted Tom and Jenny. Jenny was getting dropped off at the bike shop by Sean, so he gave me a ride back to my house. Was hoping for 12 miles but ended up just short of 10 miles.
Will try to do a couple miles later in the evening.

2 loops in Westlake Village, 6:32 pm start, still kind of warm but hint of coolness after a nice day. Finally got a handle on the pool situation, swapping out the filter again (braved the bee hive successfully after asking Jacob to do it for me yesterday. Bees should all be gone soon hopefully).
