Breathing on a Saturday night

It is a nice day. That is what people say when they are having trouble staying in the moment. "Nice".
Tomorrow (which is NOT in this moment, at least yet) I have an 18 mile run to do. It was going to be a prelude to Julie coming with me to Newfoundland on Monday. Although Environment Canada needs to look again at the map on Sunday morning before committing themselves, there is a hurricane (Bill) much bigger than the entire Maritime Provinces, heading DIRECTLY for Newfoundland. Air Canada is offering to change flight bookings for free for the next 2 days at least. The Huricane Center in the USA is saying that there will be winds from 39-70 MPH (that is MILES, not Km) in the 36-48 hour time period from now, approximating our arrival time. Or the time we be sitting in Winnipeg wondering when we may be able to leave for our trip.
I still have Saturday evening and I still have my 18 mile run. One breath and one step at a time. Then I will be really tired and I will probably sleep a lot.
Then, in a particularly un-Buddhist fashion, I think I am going to be really pissed off.
Check out the satelite picture if it is still there:
