roadie, we are having a crazy series of thunder & lightning type storms now too. Seems like it's been going on for more days in a row than I have ever experienced here (granted, I was up in the mountains in thunder & lightning land over the weekend so I've had a lot of exposure...but...stilll it sure rains a lot for being the FREAKING DESERT!) It seems like the thunderstorms usually happen a little later in the summer...not the spring.

I managed an easy 4-miler after work before the sky opened up and the lightning show started. I also ran three 1-mile sprints in Crossfit this am. I can't remember the last time I've done something like that...maybe never. I surprised myself by maintaining a pretty fast pace (for me) for the entire sprint each time (although my last one was 20 seconds slower...we did do other exercises inbetween the sprints as well, so I guess that's to be expected). It was painful but good...different for me, for sure.
