Since my last run I have completed 3 five mile run/walks. I don't think I had to run that far on each of the runs, but unless I am out there for over an hour I don't really feel like I have had a workout. This past week was notable because of Irene. We were in Atlantic Beach, NC watching the weather forecasts and wondering if we were going to get hit head on.
We decided to leave Thursday, the day before the mandatory evacuation hit. I managed to squeeze a run in before we left. It was a triathlon of sorts, run for an hour, clean/pack/load for three hours and then drive for seven plus hours. Needless to say I was spent on Friday.
Irene blew threw on Saturday and Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon I picked up some new orthotic inserts for my shoes. I had a relaxed non-eventful run around my neighborhood loop Sunday evening. The orthotics seemed to help because my toes were not mad at me afterwards. My house and neighborhood did not seem to suffer any damage from tropical storm Irene. Today I am having some minor protests from my left knee, but I don't know what that is all about. Hopefully it is nothing as I need to run 20 tomorrow. Oy.
Oh and boy am I glad we left Atlantic Beach. As of yesterday they had no power. I hope they still have a beach!
