I understand that the Midwest and Northeast United States are about to get walloped with a massive winter storm. I'm sorry and I'll be thinking about you as you try to stay warm and safe. I don't miss winter weather one bit. Our weathermen are flapping about like chickens with their heads off. After last weekend's snowy bit they are already squawking about diving temperatures tonight (down to the 30's) and I really have no clue what the upcoming weekend will bring. I was supposed to get in a long run on Sunday and run 3 miles this morning. I had the time today, I was feeling pretty good...
...so I did it! I ran 7 miles and I'm quite happy with myself, if I do say so myself. (insert giggle here)
I was tiring at mile 4, but then something turned over in my brain and I just fell into a zone. Nice morning overall.
If the weather is a mess this weekend, it will be much easier to run 3 than 7.
I'm watching the Channel 2 news as I type this. The weathermen have given way to a Breaking News Alert. There was a chemical plant explosion in Seabrook. Very few details at this time. They're taking phone calls from people who heard or felt the explosion. There is a shelter-in-place order for surrounding communities. It's several miles from me, so I'm not too concerned about my neighborhood, although there is a North wind blowing so I don't know what it may bring this way. I hope everyone is okay. We have so many chemical plants down around the gulf/bay area. It's a scary thing.
I'm lifting a prayer for the safety and well-being of those around that explosion this morning.
