GALVESTON ISLAND IN COASTAL SOUTHEAST TEXAS has been threatened all week by Harvey in it's forms as a tropical storm and hurricane, This is one of my training sites. Hot and very humid in the summer, it is nonetheless a lovely island beach on which to run and walk all year round, on the Gulf of Mexico.. Not being in the area when weather trouble started, I'll need to wait to return. My heart and prayers are with friends and family who remained for the duration. And with everyone else affected. May returning clear bright skies jumpstart recovery. Hang tough, Galveston!

Oh Yes! My heart goes out to all the runners and walkers in Texas who can't get out to exercise. During times of stress, this is when you need to run/walk the most! I don't know how they will be able to manage even after the waters recede, with mud in the streets. I hope someone in this hurricane area can answer: how do you cope?

While there are many more critical concerns in this situation, losing the ability to lower stress with a beloved routine like running or walking adds to misery. And has adverse mental and physical health effects. Thanks for the reminder!
