any of you in Fl? Is Irene going to ruin any of your weekend outdoor exercise plans??
I'm excited. If the power doesn't go out. I will exercise inside. Otherwise, I plan on stocking up on some healthy snacks and break out the candles :)

    Beware, if you use a treadmill! I've heard horror stories (humiliation stories) about sudden power outages while on the treadmill leading to very injured pride!

    Good luck with that girls. As much as we could use a little cool off here in New Orleans, I am terrified of hurricanes. Too Soon!

    You're excited about a major hurricane??? As a weather forecaster, that admittance scares me.

    In Central Florida also. Real Floridians don't even start thinking about hurricanes until we see a few trailers flying overhead. Until then, life goes on as usual.

    In Tampa, hoping it passes us by and loses strength. Lived through them before and it's not fun.

    I grew up in SoFla. Don't miss the hurricanes, but I like a good storm.

    My favorite Storm/hurricane tracker web site (with interactive maps!!) -

    Oh goodie. Don't get me wrong; we need the rain, but when it's this dry, things go from nothing to flood level in about five minutes. Maybe the havoc won't be a bad one. *fingers crossed* Although there's really no telling at this point.

    I'm in S. FL :) It doesn't look like we'll get much from it. Although when I ran to Publix at lunch they had no water left, already.

    In Orlando... Not worried about this hurricane at all. But they will be selling out of plywood at Home Depot and water and Groceries at Publix. Its good for the economy.

    We are dry in Northern Virginia as well. We happen to have a place on the beach in Delaware and there are a few tracks that have it skimming the Delmarva peninsula. I am watching very closely at this point.

    Fridge/freezer being empty is not a bad thing if the power goes out. When you hit the grocery store just stick to non-perishables and fruit/veggies that don't need to be refrigerated.

    Yep, Boca Raton here. Guess I won't be going for a run that day, although it might make for some good cardio.
