Race Cancelled

With all the damage due to tornadoes, my race that was scheduled for tomorrow has been canceled. I have not ran or worked out since Tuesday. Now that my race is canceled, I am going to try to put in a long session at the gym this afternoon. Hope to work my mileage for the week back up. We have not decided if we are heading out of town this weekend or not. Part of me wants to just stay home, but Tommy wants to go. We have power...though it is spotty...and if we head out of town we will have access to power for the weekend. I am just not sure.
Hope you all have a nice weekend. Continue to keep Alabama in your prayers...I think the current Alabama death total is at 210 as of this morning...thousands have been injured.

***Edit***
A couple of minutes after I posted this, Tommy called and said his boss told him he could use his work van (he is a delivery driver) to load up supplies and take to the affected areas. So I am leaving work early to help with this...I may not get all my mileage in for the week, but I can feel a tiny bit like I am helping my neighbors around the state.
