Best run of the trip to FL. Ran along the beach, 7am. Saved this 'til the end of the trip because I didn't want to race in sandy shoes! (Done that before, not good) Anyway- it was beautiful and I caught the beach before the crowds came. I even found a perfect "olive shell" that morning- one of the best shells found all trip! (race recovery run, 10:00 av pace)

I'm baaaaack! Wow, 2 weeks without "the blog" and I did survive! (barely...) Actually the sun, surf & good food in Florida kept my mind far away from computers.  I didn't touch a computer for 12 days- a record for me in the past few years!

I'm happy to report that I DID run in Florida.  Even ran a 5k with my son.  Let me tell you, Florida is flipping HOT! But more than HOT its H*U*M*I*D*! (Of course I know this, I grew up there for heaven's sake)  I had a week to run there before my 5k and the heat was really getting to me.  Had to stop every mile and drink & cool down.  Wasn't sure how the 5k would go.  It was pretty good, I did PR- not by as much as I wanted.  But you can read all about that in the Spring Into Summer 5k4 Race Report if you're into torturing yourself at the hands of a babbling bloggie.

Anyway, I'm going to go back now and track my few runs that I did in Florida.  Then I will attempt to catch up with all of your blogs which will probably take me a few days.  But I can't wait to see what you've all been up to!

As a side note- the DAY after I got home from Florida I started a new job with the state as a Social Worker.  So if my entries are few & far between for awhile, you'll know its just 'cause I'm playing it safe and not using my work email for personal use and probably will be in a time crunch at home in the evenings.  Somehow I will balance it, but it will take a few weeks to work out the kinks.  I have registered for the Bryce 1/2 July 19th , so I plan on getting my booty in gear for that- starting with a long run tomorrow w/  the Sole Sistas!

(since I have the hardest time posting pics on this blog, I'm going to put my personal blog address for anyone who wants to check out Florida vacation pics www.CarpeDiem95.blogspot.com )

I really like that Sasha added "goal type" to our blog. It made me make a choice between Age Division Winner & Boston Qualifier. I realized AD Placement is a bit more important to me. I still want to qualify for Boston of course, but I think now that I have my goal in mind it will make my training more enjoyable and focused. Thanks Sasha!

Only 3 miles this week- whoa! I'm not being hard on myself though- I came back from vacation and started a job the day after this week.   I needed all the sleep I could get.  I'm excited to dive into next week's training (5 weeks 'til the Bryce 1/2) and get myself some new Mizunos (mine have over 500 mi. and just called it quits this last week)
