One of my local running friends winters in Florida. I was lucky again this year that she invited Heidi and I to visit.
last December
Last Week –
- Sunday – A rest day after an emotional 7 hour trip to and from Boston the day before…
I managed to get a lot of needed errands done and meet up with a friend to plan a March race-cation…
- Monday – A WFH day so I was able to squeeze in a run at lunchtime.
it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in my ‘hood…
- Tuesday – WFH but no time until after work to get a run done…
and then I looked outside and it was SNOWING!!
I waited and it seemed to stop so I headed into town (there are street lights there)..
as soon I started running, it started snowing but it didn’t last long and it was quite peaceful…
and then home to pack!!
- Wednesday – I got up early to run (since I wasn’t sure about how much I would get to run while in FL), it was 18 degrees…. I went back to bed. LOL
After work today, Heidi and I flew to Tampa.
Deirdre and Kevin picked us up at the airport (which was about an hour from their home) and my vacation began…
- Thursday and Friday – Check FB and IG for pix of my early Florida adventures.
- Saturday – Maybe a Pirate Race in Holiday, Fl. There were several distances: 5k, 10k, 15k, 13.1. The course was a 5k loop. There weren’t many total participants signed up sooo….not sure if this will happen.
- Sunday – Last day for warm weather shenanigans – check FB and IG for pix.

Such beautiful lights. I find running in the snow so peaceful. I’ve only done it twice, once being in Savannah a few years ago. Sigh.
I hope you’re having the best time!

How nice to have friends in warm places (well, at least it should be warm!) I am hoping to arrange a cruise with my mom this spring. Not quite sure where yet, but I think she would enjoy it. I do already have 3 ski trips planned!
