AM- Thunderstorm, so my planned outdoor run with Dan moved indoors.  Rather enjoyed watching the Olympic triathlon- very enjoyable.  3 mile warmup, 5 mile tempo in 30:30, 3 mile cooldown.

PM- 10.5 miles at PM with Justin and Aaron.  Barry is back from his 3 month motorcycle tour of the country.  Cool weather for once.  Wasn't hungry afterwards, so made myself a nice smoothie at home with greek yogurt, ice, milk, berries, peach, banana, and a touch of vanilla.  Yummy.

Lunch- 6.5 with some of the guys.

I know some of the country is in a drought, but Greenville is getting wet.  In the past 2 weeks alone, we've had over 8 inches of rain.  Thunderstorms every evening, including tonight when it is absolutely pouring (weather.com just sent out a Flash Flood warning and said it is raining 1-2 inches per hour).  Definitely makes it more humid.  And the evening temps have been quite nice, usually 75-80.
