Yesterday I got out of the condo a little too late: 8 am greeted me with a wall of humidity as I ran down A1A over a dead snake, past a dead turtle and past a few very lively bunnies darting off into the palmetto scrub. But I loved every second of my weary 4 miles. Home! So happy to be in one of my favorite places! Palmetto scrub! Snakes! Gnats in my sweaty eyes!! I've missed these things!
This morning I headed out at 7 for a run on the beach. Another 5 miles is all that was scheduled.
My stupid Garmin battery died (is it normal that mine has such a short battery life? Basically I have to charge it after each use) while walking down the boardwalk, so I ran by my regular watch, estimating that in the end I did close to 6 miles, based on my recent 10K time.
My ex-military brother who lives all the way across the country from me volunteered to run part of the way with me. So fun! A brief brother-sister run! He turned around about a mile in.
I saw a jelly fish on my way back.
Other than that, the beach was pretty quiet. I did see a naked man in the open window of his pink hoopdie beach house. I'd like a pink hoopdie beach house.
Tuesday night I head out to run with the St. Augustine running club. And even though I'm only scheduled to do 6 for my Saturday long run, I'm going to do 8 by running down to Ft. Matanzas and back--a must do before we fly out that afternoon.
