There were thunderstorms today. I thought it would go for a run during a gap in the storms, however I should have been out the door a little earlier as there was quite a bit of lightening when I started off. I was calculating how far away the storm was on the basis of the time between seeing the lightening and hearing the thunder and worked out that the storm was consistently about 15 miles north of me and I decided that it was going to pass north of Carmel. I was about 3/4 of a mile from home and the storm suddenly started getting considerably closer. I ran out a little further to ensure that I made my two mile minimum but as I was doing so it started raining like crazy and was very wild and windy. I pretty quickly got drenched, like having buckets of water thrown down on me. I was not really minding getting wet but was hoping that branches would not start coming down. As I came back onto Hawthorne Rd the lightening as was about 6 miles away and I looked at my phone and was dismayed to see that it had stopped working! I go back totally soaked, including phone the lightening about 3 miles away, and when I checked my garmin connect it had only recorded 1.09 miles, even though I actually ran a little over 2.0. With a dead phone and storms now on top of us for most of the night, I could not go out again and get another mile recorded.

More storms coming today so I did my run while dinner was cooking, before the storms were even close. I did 3.19 miles tonight with the extra mile making up for the gap in recording yesterday. My phone is intensive care (container of white rice.....not sure if it will pull through), so I used Brad's phone. Hope this is OK with everyone.
