I am currently in Naples, Florida with my tennis friends.

Even though it’s a tennis vacation, I did run a 5k yesterday.

Last Week –

• Sunday – Since there wouldn’t be much running this week, after the gym, I went out for a short run.

The rest of the day was spent packing, cooking, errands (got my nails done)…

and TWO hours playing with cats!!

There’s a cat cafe where you can play with cats. Of course, they hope that you will want to adopt one. I went there because my hubby wants a 3rd cat.  If one of the kittens (bottom right) were available, I would have taken one in a minute… I was tempted with one of the tuxedos but none felt right.

• Monday – DAY OFF.  Finally back on the trails for a hiking day. I went with my running friend Heidi and two others that we met on a hike last year (Priscilla and Emilee).

We all met at Kane Mountain trail head and hiked up to the fire tower (and down). The weather (and the company) couldn’t have been better.

Then we went out to lunch.

I still had to go to my pickleball lesson later…

• Tuesday –  WFH (but I slept in) and then squeezed in a run at lunch before going to set up for the next day.

Afterward, I had a (needed) hair appt.

• Wednesday -A busy day since I had to teach live (and it’s been a while).

After work, I ran a few miles nearby instead of waiting to meet up with the Training Challenge runners (for week 6).

Then I rushed home to finish packing and to try to get to sleep early.

• Thursday – A very early flight to Ft Myers followed by picking up our rental van, driving to Naples, meeting for lunch, checking into our villa and getting settled.

• Friday- While the group had their first tennis lesson, I went for my first (sweaty) run and then played some doubles.

The rest of the day was spent relaxing at the beach and then out to dinner.

• Saturday – Tropicool 5k.

I’ve run this race many times.  It was in a different location last year and again this year in its 3rd location. (More details to come.)

This Coming Week on the Run – 

• Sunday – Wednesday = some runs, some tennis, some beach/pool time, dinners out, book club night, seeing the show Beautiful and more!
• Thursday –flight home
• Friday – recovery day off, gym, walk, mah jongg
• Saturday – Long Run and Brunch – MY BIRTHDAY!!!
• Sunday – gym, walk, Mother’s Day dinner with the family

Happy Running! Training for any big or small races?  Do you race while on vacation? Any upcoming travel? Please share.
