    I hope everyone in the Dallas area is safe and that your families are safe - looks like a real mess there!

    1.3" of rain yesterday afternoon for a total of 3.5 since the weekend. we desperately need it in central tx but seriously it could be spread out just a bit. I heard it was almost 8 inches plus in just a few hours in downtown Dallas so not surprised it flooded. jeez.

    @eleanorhawkins that doesn't sound like reflux to me. so sorry you are still in pain and i am the same and would have tried running. Jolting pain with every step sounds horrific. I seriously hope you don't have to live with this for another 10 days until the Omapr wears off and they can test. Question tho? was it helping when you took it for a few days?

    I absolutely CANNOT run the first mile hard anymore. Maybe the last tho. Age and old body I think. sigh. i need to log my runs for Sun and Monday to see my totals and add to the RTW some. It looked like we are doing ok on pace so I haven't been adding because I am not on Strava it is a pain to manually add.

    I think I sprained my ankle this morning when I stepped into a pothole and rolled it. I finally got up and hobbled out of the road, shook it off and finished my run but once I got to the office, I had a goose egg bump on the side of my foot. I've got a big overnight hiking trip this weekend so I will baby it the next few days I guess. Sigh... At least I got to see some of California! ;)

    Glad all our Texans are safe from the flooding.

    Beautiful sunrise @alphahowls!

    dang. I hope you did not break anything! damn potholes.

    Dang @Teresa502 hope your ankle isn't too serious.
    Sorry for your tough time @yirara 🙁

    I did 6 miles on the treadmill this afternoon. 4.8 of that was "speed work".

    I tried on some Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 shoes at the store the other day. They felt really good and had a nice pop to them. Then I found them for 50% off on the Saucony website. So naturally I bought 2 pair 😉
    They arrived yesterday and I was eager to test them out. Did a few strides on the treadmill, and they didn't feel at all like they did in the store. Afterwards I tried them on the hardwood floors and they felt better. Thought that was weird, but I'll give them a chance when I can run outside.

    @Teresa502 I hope the ankle isn't seriously injured.

    @eleanorhawkins I'm sorry about your races. I hope you get some answers soon.

    @eleanorhawkins I'm so sorry that the Omeprazole messed up the tests and that you have to do them over. I'm sorry that you also had to DNS your race. I think it was probably the best call though. I hope you can get all of this figured out and get to feeling better very soon.

    @polskagirl01 Good luck on your race Saturday!

    Everyone has been doing great with their runs this week. :)

    It stormed on Monday, so I wasn't able to get out to do my foundation run. I'll try to catch it up later this week - maybe do two runs tomorrow, if I can work it out. Yesterday was a tempo run for 4.1 miles. Today was a Z1 recovery; however, it started pouring rain sooner than expected, and we had lightning alerts, so it was cut way short. We have high chances of rain all week, which stinks. I don't mind the rain, but I don't want to run if it is lightning. Maybe tomorrow will work out better.

    I'm three days behind. Trying to catch up, so be patient with me. LOL

    @martaindale I talk to myself all of the time. It makes me glad that people use those earbuds for talking on the phone because I figure people just assume I am actually talking to someone other than myself. LOL Good luck with the marathon training. It is exciting.

    Thanks @Teresa502 ! I hope you enjoy your hike this weekend and look forward to some pictures later.

    @polskagirl01 Glad that your runs are going so much better.

    Nice running @shanaber. The last time I looked at the Run the World map we were nearing CA. Thanks for the description of the things we will be passing. I hope we have a nice run with you and Hobbes. :wink:

    @eleanorhawkins It sounds like you are making wise decisions, even if they are really hard ones. Hang in there and I hope you figure out what is going on soon.

    Glad you didn't get flooded out @Scott6255 .

    @eleanorhawkins I just read the description of the pain you had on the 23rd. I agree that that doesn't sound like acid reflux at all. It sounds more like gall bladder or appendix to me. Did they check that out? It know we are all throwing everything we can think of out there and we aren't doctor's, but we care. I remember when my brother had appendicitis every little bump made the pain horrible. That's why I brought that up.
