dark/stormy/bright/windy

From Friday to today the weather has been all over the board.
Friday we had rain, hail, wind, tornados west of here. About 60 miles west is Lake City, where several houses were destroyed, one person killed. Power lines down.
Sat. morning I got up at 0-dark 30 and went to a friend's house, then we drove downtown for the River Run. There were over 13,000 people in the race, and all the other family members there. By 8:00 AM the sky cleared off and it was sunny, but still gusty winds all day. I did the 15K in 2 hrs. 28 min. Mostly walking but some joging. We had a great time, and are thinking about signing up for the Jeff Jalloway training for getting in shape and doing a 1/2 marathon for next year. Maybe with 2 or three friends we could motivate each other.
Having said that, I'm just a bit sore today. Not too bad, but I have sore toes from the ends of the shoes rubbing them, and one blister on the right heel. I'm thankful that the storms passed quickly and it wasn't raining Sat. at all.
Also glad the knees, ankles, and etc. parts will actually work and I can walk 9 miles. The bridge at the end was a monster, the wind was gusting 40-50 MPH.
No quilting here lately! I do hate this daylight saving time, what are we supposed to be saving? We just turn the lights on in the morning instead of the evening.
Sara in Fla. where the sun is shining, and it is cool.
