Just got back from a little 2 mile run...I'm so psyched about tomorrow's race I can hardly function. I'm sure I'll have a terrible time getting to bed tonight!

I was considering a nap, but I'm too jazzed, so I went running instead. I'm guessing that isn't going to work for you, Jen.

Have a great time at dinner - the chocolate bombs sound amazing.

She and I swapped inspires today and I saw her log for the day, sounds like she's okay.  No mention of the damage around her part of town.  Just that they closed the pool so she didn't get her swim in today.

barqhead - 2008-03-15 9:13 PM No splits for my race yet. BUT, I WON my age group!!! AND I beat my time from last year. 1:05:52 for today's race!!! Best of all, for the first time ever, I beat my arch rival!!!!!! I'm tired, but pumped! I really didn't think I'd be able to better last year's time cuz I felt so "on" for that race last year.

Artemis - 2008-03-15 10:24 AM Morning Nibbs!! Race went well this morning. 8k in 1:10:32. Not my fastest time, but that's good. I wanted to be kind of slow today so that I wouldn't be very tired for the half tomorrow.

Alrighty then, inquiring minds...

I live just north of the city.  I'm in Fulton County so I'm in the same county (which is huge) as the hardest hit area yesterday.  However, today a few of the northern suburbs got hit very hard.  Many of our families (including mine) spent a good deal of time in basements.  I was at work and we had to hang out in the locker rooms whenever the tornado warning sirens went off.

Last week's tornado in my town took out a few rooftops as well as 300 trees in the park where I run... obviously we are still dealing with that mess.  So much for shady summertime runs.  In fact, we are still kinda dealing with a tornado 2 years ago that leveled some businesses and wreaked havoc on a very upscale neighborhood.  I didn't grow up with tornado warnings and watches and touchdowns so this is all relatively new to me. 

Of course, the biggest problem at our house at the moment is that we had basketball tickets for tomorrow... waiting to see if we're rerouted to GA Tech now that the GA Dome has a few gaping holes in it, or if we'll just take a pass...

D001 - 2008-03-15 10:52 PM So today, a tornado went almost directly over my house. It was, um.... exciting. OK, so I probably shouldn't have been looking out the window. But well, you know.... Fortunately, the funnel cloud wasn't touching down. I was listening to the TV, (until the power went out,) and they were saying that the funnel had been sighted, but wasn't on the ground. If they'd been saying differently, well, I would not have been standing by the window. (I know, I know. You don't need to say it. I mean, the guy on the TV was already yelling "go to an inside room immediately!" But it was kinda cool watching those swirly clouds.) The power came back on a couple of hours later....

zipp1 - 2008-03-15 10:36 PM Wow, that must have been rough on the kids. Glad you're all safe and relatively sound.

Mother nature has a bad sense of humor sometimes

Hi Nibbs.  The weather wasn't bad this morning.  It was misty when the race started and very windy, but not too bad.  The sun actually peeked through once the race got started.

I did not do as well as I wanted.  I had problems with nutrition and what I think might be a stomach bug.  I'm not sure if what I'm feeling is from the lack of nutrition with the run or some stomach flu.  Right now, I'm leaning towards stomach flu.  Yuck.  Did not make for my best run.

barqhead - 2008-03-16 3:08 PM Splits are up and so is my race report. I finished Ninth out of the ladies and first in my age group. My bike and transitions improved from last year. A very good early season race for me!
