Day 4 in Florida: I still don’t know how to make coffee with the fancy coffee maker thing here.
I’ve been drinking Spark every morning instead. I love the stuff, so that’s good with me – but I didn’t bring that much so I need to start rationing it.

Global Warming Update: It’s oddly cold here. What’s up with that?

Supply list: Running gear includes this new running belt from Stay Fit Running.
The company sent me this to try and I love that it’s so wide and thick. It doesn’t move or bounce at all. I’ll share more about it later but wanted to post the discount they are offering in case you’re in the market for a running belt or you want your people to buy you one for the holidays…

Day 4 run: Ran to the beach. Excellent choice.


Day 4 bathroom habits: Yes. (details withheld)

Inner peace update: There is a yoga class on the beach here! But I’ve never went because I only have inner piece..s of pizza.

New skills update:
Ben taught me how to make coffee with the percolator coffee maker thing. His family swears this is the best coffee maker ever. I do have to admit they make great coffee, I thought they just had a magic recipe or something.


Operation sunset Nov 2016: I can confirm the sun set today. I watched it to be sure.

Despite being in a car for six hours today, I still managed to get in 17,000 steps! I was on the elliptical for 25 minutes this morning and walked 2.7 miles on the treadmill. I got some more walking done at each stop on our thanksgiving journey. Happy thanksgiving, all! Be kind to one another! My mantra for tomorrow is: it’s not about the food- it’s about the family
6.3 miles on the treadmill today!
If you had asked me a couple years ago I’d have said I’d never be happy to run but today I was. Even though me hip is bugging me. I ran 5k in the treadmill. Maybe next year I’ll do a turkey trot. It could happen 🙂
That is great Cheryl! Yes, next year Turkey Trot!! Hope your hip feels better soon 🙂

I was glad to read that Ben showed you how to make coffee in the electric percolator because as I was reading your post, I was already trying to come up with the steps to share with you–I love the coffee ours makes! My parents got me hooked on this method 🙂

6.6 mile run in the pouring rain. I thought I could get a run in before it hit…I couldn’t:( It was raining buckets! At one point I thought I saw Noah gathering animals, but it turned out to be a guy walking his dogs who got caught in the rain like me.
I rode the bike 9 miles early this morning and I’ll go run 3 miles later today.
Elliptical and yoga for me today. Hoping to run a few tomorrow…
It was pouring this morning and I was sleepy. So far, today was kind of a potm fail. I’m still going to foam roll really well tonight
