Wonderful evening. Low humidity, mid 70's and gorgeous sunshine. I thought after my bike ride yesterday my legs would be tired, but I felt great. Ran on the section line road. ( really not a road, more like tire tracks between 2 fields. The corn on one side and beans on the other. Kept a wary eye out for critters. Especially the black and white kind. Fortunately they kept to the fields. 

 Ron is really struggling with injuries. Kaylie has all but given up on running because of her constant problem with shin splints. I read Born to Run last winter and gave it to Kaylie to read. She is thinking she might want to try this barefoot running thing. I'm thinking Ron should maybe try it to. There seems to be some valid points to it. I'm not sure it is smart in the winter up here. But the other 3 seasons maybe it would work for them. Kaylie calls me a mutant as that is what the author refers to runners who stay pretty much injury free. (knock on wood). But for runners like Ron and Kaylie it might be just what they need. I don't know. It is very frustrating for them.

Went in and ran 4 with the team. Came home and took the dogs out for a quick mile before the heat set in. Maggie's short little legs did pretty well.

Woke up at 4:00 am to nasty weather, no electricity, dogs going crazy, howling wind. I hate severe t-storms in the dark. We grabbed flashlights, noticed that the wind seemed to be increasing, woke up Tara and told her to go to the basement with the dogs. Ron and I got the generator going as the sump pump was running and we didn't want to bail water. Jared called and said he and Jen were getting water in their basement and they were out of power too. Called Kaylie and Dustin. They were good. Their bedroom is on the lowest floor. Put batteries in my NOAA radio. (Probably should have done that at the beginning of storm season). That storm moved on. But the radio said another one was coming. Yeah! Power finally came on an hour later. Just in time to see the radar and have the weatherman tell us the next storm had rotation and was just west of us. Fortunately it had weakened a bit so we got more rain (like we needed any more) and some wind. Ron decided to just go to work, since there were quite a few out of power. All things considered we faired pretty well. Other towns got hit pretty hard. Jared was able to keep a handle on the water. They borrowed some fans and the dehumidifier.

Had a great run tonight. Blue sky, low humidity, nice breeze and awesome sunset. After the run Tara and I watched Twister. :) Her idea. :)

Ran with the team in Fargo. It is a nice change to run in town. There is so much going on. We ran through the street fair before it opened this morning. Afterwards Kaylie and I went through and did a little Christmas shopping before it really got busy and hot. Kaylie gave me some ideas what she wants for Christmas, so I think I'll go back tomorrow.

Temp is 89. Humidity is wickedly high and we are in a tornado watch, so I decided the treadmill was my best bet today. Tried to keep it at an 8:00 pace. But failed miserably.
