Such an awesome run.  The last 2 1/2 miles I got caught in a torrential downpour.  One of the thunderstorms that hit Utah County zeroed in on me.  Within 30 seconds I was as wet as if I'd jumped into the pool.  Wind gusts had the rain falling sideways.  Lightning was flashing all over the place, and the thunder so loud and close my teeth were rattling.  It was just a really cool end to the run--one I didn't expect but embraced when it hit.  It just felt SOOOOOOO good!

Sounds real COOL!!! I have to admit that I'd be scared out of my shorts! What a storm! When the lightning and thunder hit, we were watching Tron w/ lightning going on at the same time! :)

Sounds pretty cool. However, the lightning would have scared me enough to run 5 minute miles to the finish.
