We're supposed to run 12 miles tomorrow morning.
Hm...
Update: We did run this morning, but we moved to an inland location instead of braving the exposed course along the Potomac River. It was pretty fun splashing through puddles. I took a picture so you could see how wet I was, but it's disappointingly har
d to tell. That's the top of one of my tomato plants (a cutting from a Rogers High School FFA plant!) behind me - had to bring all the plants in from the balcony.I stopped by the farmer's market on the way home and bought some okra and eggplant. While I was digging through my purse for change, a powerful gust of wind nearly carried off the canvas tent. Everyone grabbed part of the tent and held it until the wind stopped.
At this point, local authorities report 3 dozen car accidents, 45,000 customers without power in Virginia alone, and nearly 7 inches of rain in some areas. DC residents can pick up 5 sandbags per household, courtesy of the city. As high tide approaches, Alexandria, Virginia, is evacuating residents in a flooded, coastal neighborhood.
If you're out there, be careful. And maybe if we're really lucky, the rats will drown.

Wowza!!! I was thinking about you this morning while we were meeting contractors at the new house (good news--it looks like there isn't a major leak in the house!) and wondering if you ran. Yay for you for running! The boy and I were just talking about how proud we are of you! And how not envious we are of your long runs... :)
Haha, yeah I guess today would be the day to find out whether you had a leaky roof! Glad to hear you don't. I can't wait to see it, and I'm so glad you're loving it more and more.
