Florida

We just spent the last week in a beautiful condo across the street from a beautiful beach. Siesta Key in Florida is amazing!

Part of my prize package for winning season six of Fort Wayne's Smallest Winner included a week in Florida. I'd never been to Florida before, so this was uncharted territory for me. We felt like royalty while we were there. We spent a few hours on the beach every day, and it was very neat that the weather conditions were just different enough to give each day a different feel.

Rose and I were still planning on working out in Florida, but without the luxury of a gym. I opted to work running into the schedule each day. What I discovered is that running in Siesta Key is hard. The heat and the humidity were demoralizing. I suppose local runners are used to it, but this Hoosier was not. If I had decided to become a runner while in Florida, I would not have continued with it very long.

I loved visiting Florida. It was awesome. It's also nice to be home again. I look forward to getting reacquainted with my old friend, the River Greenway. It's been too long ...
