Early morning run with Wyatt. Still dark at 6 am, so we switched to 630. Did a park & run so we could go to a different pasture than we're used to. It was wonderful. Best part of all (other than the company) was it was only 65 degrees when we started out. Probably low 70s when we ended, if that. It was nice, breezy, and not an infernal oven. There must have been a micro-burst, powerful winds, or tornado on the street we ran on the night before. Every house that had a tree over 20 feet tall had at least on tree that was snapped 4 feet above the ground, blown completely over leaving a huge rootball, or had severe limb loss (at least 1/3 of the tree). Many houses had trees blocking their driveways. One house had a car in the driveway with a fallen tree on either side of it. It was a miracle neither of the trees damaged the car. There was siding from one house all over the street in the front of it, and someone's mailbox sign with their name on it was in the middle of the road. We both only live 5 miles from this road (in opposite directions), and neither of us saw this kind of damage. When we first started running, no one was out- but on the way back to our cars, everyone was out in their yards and the chain saws were humming. Or tractors were dragging- lots of fields on the road. Grateful for a nice run, good company, and no trees falling in my yard. Congrats to RAD and Brent on a great race today!
