March 14 - Wild Weather and Work - Holy Crap

Wow, what a heck of a storm. The winds actually roared as if a hurricane came through. I got up as if to run and found it very, very windy out there. So windy that trees are down and 26,000 people had blackouts. One of the large trees in my neighborhood was toppled in this storm. In all, the city is officially stating that the calls to 911 actually topped that of the September 11 attacks. Here are some pictures of the aftermath of the storm.

This is one of my running routes in Clove Lakes Park. I ran in the park yesterday morning:



I decided to bag the run due to safety reasons and proceeded to work with my father on a project today. I also intended to get an easy ride in today also, but we wound up working all day. Well, life does intend to intrude on the best of plans. At least I got all of my Key Workouts done. For this week, I finished 7000 meters of swimming, 70 miles of cycling, and 28 miles of running. The running mileage stings a bit, especially when I have to do 60 miles of running this upcoming week.

I'll get the new week posted as soon as I can. Have patience; I need to catch up on things today. :-)
