    @skippygirlsmom I will be praying for her! And you!

    @rheddmobile I love that. My sister did the ancestry and 23 and me thing and it really changed her life. The people who helped along the way really made all the difference. You probably made a much bigger impact than you realize.

    If you all could keep a good thought, prayer, whatever for Skip and her school mates, her college is in Mobile AL. Most of her school dorms were evacuated for Hurricane Sally but hers was not because it’s newer and hurricane rated. However, I know she’s getting scared and though I know she’s safe this momma’s heart is worried because I’m not there in person to tell her it’s going to be okay. We opted for her not to come home because she would have to drive through it to get back tomorrow since classes restart on Thursday. I know the school will take care of them, but it’s still hard. I told her park the car up as high as she can because they are expected 15” of rain, she has supplies and her dorm is more than half full. Her friend Harrison said if she’s scared to come stay in his room with him so I feel better about that.

    Absolutely! I also pray that Sally fizzles out and doesn't do any major damage!

    (P.S. - I count all my .XX because they really do add up!)

    @Tramboman I'm sure @PastorVincent was helping you along last week and showing you what you CAN do.

    @juliet3455 Sorry about your injuries. I hope they heal quickly. That sunset is amazing!

    @RunsOnEspresso Glad the air quality is improving. Sorry about feeling yucky and the DNF. It's the thought that counts in this one.

    @kristinajeang Glad your ankle is getting better. Smart to take the time for it to heal completely.

    @rheddmobile Great RAOK. I know that person was very happy and you made their day.

    @skippygirlsmom I will certainly send some prayers up for Skip and her classmates. Hope everyone stays safe and calm.

    Okay, everyone who participated in the Virtual Marathon for @PastorVincent should have a message from me now with my email address so we can share photos, stories, and so on for an ebook for his wife Kristi. Please send me your random acts of kindness! Also your location so we can make a map showing all the different places people were running! And if you have a photo of yourself on your run, or a photo of where you ran, or anything else significant, please send it along. Plus any stories or thoughts you would like to include. The way my husband works on these ebooks is to start with a big pile of stuff and then trim it down until it makes sense, so don’t be shy, we want lots of material to work with.

    If you don’t have a message from me, please let me know.

    @rheddmobile Thanks so much to you and your DH! That's a lot of work. It will probably be over the weekend before I have time to send you anything. That's not too late, is it?

    Absolutely not too late! I figure we will take a whole week getting stuff together and organizing it!

    @hanlonsk The smoke is awful, but sure is giving us some awesome pictures. They are even saying it may be hazy here (E. TN) due to the fires. Yikes! Hope your ankle stops being wonky soon.

    @polskagirl01 There are apps & websites but the problem for Phoenix is the smoke isn't affecting the air quality so they say the AQI and PM are good/moderate. It's still hazey & smokey here but it's not affecting numbers. It has something to do with where the smoke is in the ozone. But it still affects "a very small amount of people that are unusually sensitive" (I guess I'm unusually sensitive lol) 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Glad you’re mom is on the mend @Scott6255 and that the girl is doing good @Skippygirlsmom!

    Just make sure you are taking it real easy. An extra rest day now is much better than getting set back several weeks if the ankle isn't ready. Says the person who ran several races once on a hurt quad because she had "already paid for them" and ended up not being able to run for over a month.

    Definitely taking it slow! I plan on taking a rest day tomorrow and Friday to see how it reacts to the one mile, and if it is doing okay and continues getting better and better, I'll try again. If it hurts more tomorrow or Friday, I'll wait another week to gauge it. I'm also still working on my stretches and will make sure to stretch a little more tonight since I did do a short run/walk!
