Last Week:
- Monday – Another Florida vacation day – running, playing tennis, tennis lessons then off to the beach. Of course, we ate dinner out in another great restaurant.
- Tuesday – We couldn’t have gotten luckier with the weather. Yes, it was very hot and very humid but I loved it. Again. I got up early and went for a short run.
Today we played tennis but didn’t have a lesson. Instead we went to the Naples Botanical Gardens followed by the beach.
so beautiful – I have to go back (maybe when it is cooler)
- Wednesday – Last day of vacation. I went for my last morning run. Then we played tennis and I went for a long walk with a friend. We packed and relaxed at the pool until it was time to leave.
We had a late flight home so ate dinner at the airport.
- Thursday – Back to reality. After 7 days in a row of running, I did not run today. I did go for a walk at lunch. I must have brought the Florida weather home with me because it was just as warm (but not as humid.)
tulips gone – time for irises
- Friday – I missed my STEM runners so I planned to run with them after work instead of mah jongg. But they didn’t show 😦
afternoon walk to the park
- Saturday – Off to Vermont to prepare for my half marathon. As soon as I arrived, AJH & I headed out to the expo. Then we went out to lunch, walked around the waterfront and spent a relaxing evening at AJH’s.
- Sunday – VCM relay – 20th half marathon done as the second half of a marathon. Proud to have finished upright in a puddle of sweat especially since it was cancelled due to extreme heat when I was only at mile 5.
Vermont City Marathon Relay – a HOT unofficial 2:33:55
26 miles done with 5 runs and 2 rest days.

- Tuesday – 3 mile run or rest
- Wednesday – STEM run, GOTR event

Happy Running! How is your running going? Any races? Enjoy your Memorial Day!

Good for you, finishing anyways! Pretty sure that all the running in Florida paid off nicely for your race. Congrats!

The Florida heat sure helped but not on my legs which weren’t used to more than 3 miles.

I didn’t think you ran the Freihofers. Come look for me. I’ll be by the Training Challenge tent. I will probably run after in the park to add some more miles – 3 or 4 at most.

I won’t be running more miles. I do it sometimes when I’m home. Was it the yoga place you said you can park at for that?

You can try. I park at work and walk. It starts now on Washington near City Hall.

Wow that is a lot of running. I pretty much took the week off. Over did it and my right calf is acting up, so I am being very reasonable before marathon training starts.
Also, June 24th works for me !

Well, I’m glad they didn’t arrest you for finishing the race anyway. LOL. After running in steamy FL, you probably thought it wasn’t that hot at all. 😉 I hope you get that boating in this weekend! Thanks for linking with us Darlene.
