We were lucky. None of our trees came down and we never lost power. I was up most of the night because I was worried about Jones and the wind had me completely freaked out. We came through with only a small bit of damage: our street sign fell off its post.
My car was parked a foot or so ahead of where the truck is, but luckily the sign didn’t go far. And who knew that our county actually had a dude whose job it was to drive around and fix signs. Beer Geek was going to fix it, but the guy beat him to it LOL.

All in all, we and most of our neighborhood were extremely lucky. Now we are just trying to get the house back to normal, which includes drinking all the water I stored in the fridge. I’ve never been so well hydrated.
On the running front, things are going pretty well. I ran 6 very slow miles yesterday and a total of 19.5 for the week. I’m running every day right now, in an attempt to fix my form and build my endurance. Some of the runs are as short as one mile and really slow, but I figure the more I run barefoot on the treadmill, the more that form will translate to longer runs. We’ll see if I’m right LOL.
Fingers crossed that this week is completely uneventful. Last week’s earthquake, tonsil bleed, and hurricane were quite enough, thankyouverymuch.
Don’t forget to enter my YMX Tribal Sea Run Tee giveway! I’m totally in love with this shirt…
I need to start running barefoot again. After this next marathon, I think I'll slow it down and just try to build some calluses.
glad you dodged it! our neighbors has a tree fall on their house, yikes.
you are overdue for a STRESS-FREE week.
yeah, last week was stressful and unusual. glad you made it thru the hurricane without major damage!
Glad you guys made it out unscathed!
Amen! to a normal week. (But we start school tomorrow so I doubt I'll feel like it was normal)Glad you made it through without damage.
so happy you are ok and your home is ok…this was scary to see on TV I can only imagine being "in it"
Glad you all are ok. Good for you for getting back into barefoot running . I need to start again, but not even going there till after my half in oct.
Wow. I am so glad you guys are okay. ::huge hugs::That's so scary when stuff like that happens so close to you.
The tree-in-the-house pic freaked me out – SO glad you guys are okay!!
you were so prepared! i'm glad nothing bad happened and all the preparations were a 'waste'!!
Thank God you and your family are well. Do you feel like you have combat pay coming for these last two weeks?! Hang in there 🙂
Glad you all are ok! My Family is in CT and their damage looks about the same with power outages.
Geez, you go away for a couple of weeks and you miss a lot! I'm watching the news while catching up on blogs – I caught the news of the hurricane, but didn't even hear about an earthquake! Glad everyone and everything are ok.
I hope you have a really boring week. Enough is enough!
good gosh you DO need a boring mundane dull week!
