Yep, I am leaving Albany, NY today (where it is raining & chilly) and flying to Fort Myers, Florida (where I hope it will be sunny & warm.)
I will be playing catch up with my good friend Pat for a few days who now lives in Placida.

Pat is on the right. We started running together. I hope to motivate her to start up again.
Then I plan to drive up to Sarasota to visit another friend, Robin (who is renting a condo there for the winter).

Robin is on the right. She plays tennis & I play mah jongg with her.
I will do dinner & show with her Friday and stay at her place. On Saturday, she is playing tennis, then mah jongg. I plan to go to the beach.
Afterwards, I will probably pick up my race packet and then head to my mah jongg friend, Susan. Susan owns a condo in Sarasota that is located across the street from the start/finish line. (She has since sold it and is moving to another on April 1 – boy did I luck out!!)
So Sunday morning, I can walk to the race and then limp back afterwards wearing this:
I will most likely spend the rest of the day at the pool or beach before heading back to Placida.
I fly home to Albany on Monday. Hopefully when I arrive the snow will be gone…
Happy Running! Full race report when I return…





Have a great trip! The beach looks SO fantastic, relax and enjoy before the weekend. All the best on your race!

That is a pretty metal! I like the sound of your plans. I laughed when you mentioned limping back afterwards because I often describe my running gait as something more akin to a limp,hee. Have fun!!
