    You did great today @tarun_yadavA . I did enjoy my day. Thanks. I had forgotten about the thumb-tucking. :lol: My thumbs are tucked too @Laurz9191 .


    I didn't get any damage, from the rain and wind, but a lot of the area's near here are devastated with flooding. Hot Springs NC, Newport TN, and Erwin TN (where I went hiking last week) to name a few. Hospital patients had to be airlifted from a hospital in Erwin. Part of Interstate 40 from NC to TN was washed away. A bridge on the way to Erwin was washed away. It's sad to see and going to be a long time before some of those major roads will be usable again.

    @quilteryoyo Hot springs ? That's where we had Brunch! Oh no! That place got flooded

    @Scott6255 A broken hip is a serious injury! I'm so glad your brother is ok and hope his recovery goes well.

    Thanks @kgirlhart . Glad you had a nice speedy run in your new shoes!

    @tarun_yadavA Thanks for sharing the clip on the Berlin. It looks like a great race. You had an excellent speedy run today! Yes, that is where we had brunch. There are a couple of pictures of Hot Springs I found from yesterday under the spoiler.

    @daria0919 Great race and glad your ankle held out. When I glanced at your post, I thought the frozen peas were the "bling" from the race. :lol:

    @Laurz9191 I'm glad you got your bib yesterday and a great little shake out run today. I look forward to hearing about your awesome race! You're going to kill it!

    @AlphaHowls I'm so sorry your mom is getting worse. I understand social media being one of the things you are cutting down on. Thanks so much for setting up next month for us.

    I'm so sorry to hear about your brother @Scott6255 . I hope the surgery went/goes well and helps with the pain he's in. Ladders can be so dangerous. Great run for him this morning.

    I'm glad you made it home with little delay @Teresa502 . That's a long time to be without power. I hope you get power sooner than that. We have power, but they turned off the water for all of Greeneville today...I'm not sure for how long, because the pumping stations are all under water. I get mine from a different area, so I still have water. We were lucky on this side of the county. AND, the dam they thought might break is now deemed as safe. Had it breached, it would have been so much worse. I feel so bad for all of those who lost everything they have and so many bridges and roads have been compromised or totally destroyed that lots of people are isolated and can't get water/food.

    @SummerSkier Great running for the month, and year! It is interesting that you smell things more intensely when the air is less humid.

    70.00/70 mile goal

    I played singles tennis this morning with a friend. I won 6-1, 7-5. She is the one who had knee surgery in the spring and is just getting back into playing. We had fun and some really good rallies.

    I didn't have time for my run after I got home before leaving to go with mom to my neighbor's 95th birthday party! I ate enough sweets for the year, or at least the month. I had homemade ice cream, strawberry cobbler, coconut cake (half a small piece), and a brownie with caramel sauce. I don't know why I do that. I mean, I love those things and they were good, but I am not really a sweet eater. I just let myself go. LOL

    After I got home, I went out for a driveway wun. With all that on my stomach, I was surprised that the running felt okay. I just did enough to meet my goal for the month. Anything after this is icing on the cake. :smile:
