This morning I left for the tennis ladies’ 11th trip together to Naples, Florida. (For some of us, this is our 19th tennis trip – 1 Palm Springs, 5 Las Vegas, 1 Dominican Republic, 1 Delray Beach.)

Naples Fla

There will 10 of us (one newbie) and we are renting 2 villas (from the same lady) in World Tennis Center.

This is my second trip to Florida this year. (Remember, my big PR half marathon in West Palm Beach in January).  The purpose of this trip is to play tennis and do some female-bonding. (There are no races this time of year in Florida 😦 )

this year, however, our favorite tennis instructor will not be there 😦

We will be playing tennis everyday from 8-11 am.

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

lots of these views

and these

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??? Doubt it.

I need to run since I have a half marathon when I return. But at the same time, I want to rest my foot.

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!
