Yes, this is my fourth (and last) trip to Florida. (It’s not Disney-inspired, or visiting old friends or even to run a half marathon.  It’s to play tennis and do some female-bonding.)

Tomorrow I leave for the tennis ladies’ 9th trip together to Naples, Florida. (For some of us, this is our 17th tennis trip – 1 Palm Springs, 5 Las Vegas, 1 Dominican Rep, 1 Delray Beach.)

There will be 10 of us and we rent 2 villas (from the same lady) in World Tennis Center.

We will be playing tennis everyday from 8-11 am

BTW: this will be the 1st year I will not be needing a knee brace.

and then we will be busy the rest of the day with a variety of fun/relaxing activities.

I think they will involve this view.

I am bringing my running clothes. Will I run??? I certainly hope so!!

these were my enthusiastic friends in 2008 – will I be able to get them to run with me???

(I am pretty excited about this trip since last year when I went I couldn’t play tennis or run – just bike.)

I won’t have a computer so no posting for 8 days!!! (I will have my iPad & iPhone so I will be following your blogs and updating my FB status.)

I will post pics when I return.

Happy Running! I will miss you all! Stay healthy!
