Hello from sunny rainy Florida!!! I gathered my essentials: magazines and snacks and flew to Florida yesterday. It was a bumpy flight and Ben and I are glad to be here.
We were hoping for sunny beautiful weather, but it’s pretty stormy today. But that didn’t stop me from starting my day with a run. I did 5.3 miles in the pouring rain 🙂 Ben’s family thinks I’m crazy. I actually love running in the rain (that’s because it was a “treat” in California!). I feel so hardcore when I run in the rain 🙂
We went back to the fam’s and ate cereals, yogurt and fruit. And maybe a piece of cranberry bread 😉
Now we are headed to the art show. I hope it stops raining soon – the show is outside and not many people will come out in this weather.
Oh, I forgot yesterday’s lunch: I made egg salad and chopped up spinach for extra veggies. 
Dinner at Ben’s fam home – lots of mayo based salads. His mom makes the best side salads -but they are killer calorie-wise. It’s all about portion control. 
And cake. Because sometimes you should have cake.
Even though it’s raining I am so happy it’s not cold. Love it 🙂
Woohoo! Running in the rain definitely makes you hardcore 🙂 I wish I loved to run in the rain… but I don’t. Do you have any tricks for drying out your shoes when they get wet? To be honest, that may be my biggest pet peeve about running in rain– wet sneaks = yuck.
Enjoy Florida! I did a lot of rainy running over Thanksgiving and I felt pretty hard-core too!
That cake looks so tasty and is def. worth it!
How I miss the warmth. At least it’s snowing. I hate it when it’s not cold enough for snow, but displeasantly not warm either.
That Luna bar is definitely an essential this time of year
It was rainy in Miami today! Which art show are you seeing? Basal is here in Miami this weekend and there’s tons of shows going on. Have fun with the fam!
haha, I stay away from the rain. I don’t do afros. haha glad you made it there safely!! cake, I want cake now
Glad you made it alright. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip!
rain = hardcore. bet you can’t wait for the snow to feel even more hardcore 😉
Agreed with feeling hardcore in the rain. I love the idea of people driving by thinking “Damn girl – that’s some hardcore runner to head out in the rain.” That’s right. And it’s refreshing.
Yay for good runs!
Sometimes we all need mayo-based salads! They’re pretty delicious! Enjoy!
Hi Monica! Welcome to Florida! I live in Sarasota and I ran 5 miles in the pouring rain today, too. 🙂 Usually, Florida winter weather is perfect for running. It’s weird to have this much rain in December – this time of year is typically sunny and dry. Oh well – glad you enjoyed your run and I hope you have fun on your trip!
you are missing the snow in md/dc/va :-p
In your defense: running in the rain IS hardcore! Enjoy Florida : )
