    Hurricane Irma, you just wiped out St. Martins. Where are you going to go now?! "I'm going to Disney World!" :-)

    Yeah....watching this closely since we booked a flight to Miami for early Dec a couple of weeks ago. :s Haven't made any other arrangements for hotels, vehicle or even where we will be headed from there - not until after all this is past and we see how the infrastructure held up. We went to Cabo just 2.5 months after the hurricane there a couple years ago and you could hardly tell... The Mexican govt was instantly on top of it for repairs and help.

    Florida will have all the businesses up and running. It's the houses that will take years to repair.

    How many times do I have to say, "I don't know anything about this event, I was not given any information about it" before this person stops asking me questions about this event?

    Also, it would've been helpful if I had been given some information about this event before all the zoo employees punted...

    I always do a sneaky google on the event before I end up at a concert or festival or etc... and when I first check in I get a map of the site (festivals) in case anyone asks me where 'information' is, lol.

    Finally got some wind. The smoke is starting to move to Canada. Sorry neighbors. It's headed towards Calgary. They won't know the difference between their fires and ours. :smile:

    It's a payroll weekend. I don't mind paying people. I hate having to figure out who gets paid what. :frowning:

    I think I got more sleep when I worked as a janitor.

    Wow. Just dozed off at my desk for about 30 minutes. Woke up with the movie in the best part. Double bonus! A quick nap and skipped the boring part of the movie. :smile:

    The smoke is back. I'm getting really tired of the fires and the smoke. Mud slides will come next once the rain starts.

    Waterton Lakes National Park is being decimated too (just N of Glacier in Montana)

    On the other hand, this was my hike on Monday - finally free of smoke!! Our first day of showers was on Saturday.

    They started evacuations of Waterton Park a few days ago. It's getting pretty bad. When it does rain, there won't be any vegetation to stop the rain from just running down the slopes causing mudslides.

    The photos from the hike are awesome! Wish I was there.

    It was great! We haven't had much of a chance to hike this year. We are trying to fit in as much as possible before snowfall up high, lol. BTW that was our 'date day' plus a lovely dinner out when we got down to the bottom of the trail. Hubby is in the green shirt in the distance on the scree trail in the first picture. I waited to take the picture until he got to the perfect spot. We had the little lake all to ourselves, as we started hiking back a bit later than most would.

    They are gorgeous. All you can see hiking around here is smoke. We are on a "Very Hazardous" air quality alert. The smoke is so thick these days you can't even bike indoors. And as if that wasn't enough, The forest fires in Libby Montana are about to run through a vermiculite mine. That will dump Asbestos into the air when it burns. Hopefully the firefighters will just back off and let it run through.

    The rain didn't come around here. We got a lot of wind but no rain. So no relief on the fires. All my clothes smell like a campfire. I can only hope that some of the fires run into where the other fires have already burned.

    It's great if you barbeque. We eat smoked ham, smoked sausage, smoked bread, smoked bananas and the list goes on and on. :smile:

    Okay, I've been gone for far too long. Hurricane Irma was annoying around my parts. Just breezy and a day of ran. I think it moved out quicker from where I am than they originally thought. Got another weekend at the beach and remembered to take my swim suit this time :lol:

    I did manage to eek out a 5K this morning. My feet are killing me right now lol.

    Be careful Bethanie until you can get the foot issues figured out....you wouldn't want permanent damage. Glad you weren't slapped too hard by Irma.
  • sufferlandrian
    sufferlandrian Posts: 8,244 Member
    I concur on the take it easy on the foot. Tendons and ligaments take a long time to heal. They don't have a direct blood supply so it takes much longer for them to heal. Can you do something besides running for awhile? Swimming? Cycling? It took me six months to heal from my plantar Fasciitis.

    The smoke is finally clearing and I'm stuck at work. I guess it's time to get back on the indoor bike. Maybe after this next bowl of Raspberry Gelato. :smile:

    Ugh, that's my issue: plantar Fasciitis in my left foot. I'm good once I get moving but if I get up, I can't put my heel down :cry:
  • canadjineh

    I'd deep water run in a pool if I were you... absolutely no impact on the foot and yet resistance of the water makes it an even stronger muscle building/toning exercise while recovering.
    Here's a quick link of someone else's (a marathon runner) experience: https://runawayfromzombies.com/pool-running-plantar-fasciitis/
