Hello! I am having a great time in Florida so far!!
Yesterday after my run and breakfast I headed to the pool. You know I used my Big Gulp for an adult beverage. Also, Corey had a hat that matched my striped bathing suit perfectly. I was pretty excited about that.
Today I went for another ridiculously sweaty run. Ridic.
We started the day with the annual brunch buffet amazingness.
I don’t mess around.
I blame the mimosas.
It’s been great spending relaxing time with Ben. We’ve been so busy lately we never get time like this, so it’s nice.
The rest of the day was for relaxin’
In the afternoon we headed to Tijuana Island, named such because there are so many crabs it’s hard not to catch one or two…
We dared Jon to eat a live one, but he ended up changing his mind saying someone about not being a ‘raw foodie’.
I caught one to take a picture with!!! Look at me being so brave lately
Check my insta for a video of me catching one.
Then, it was time to really relax…
Trying to enjoy every single minute
Question: What did you do this weekend?
Catch any crabs?
Jen says
You are killing it in the bikinis! Way to go… makes me feel like going for a run 😉
Deborah Brooks @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
You always look like you are having so much fun! Those crabs would freak me out!
Ella says
That is exactly what my breakfast/brunch plates look like when I’m out. I was at a lunchtime baby shower last weekend and I kept refilling my plate (yo, it’s like with lots of salad and fruit too!) and I felt self-conscious for a minute, and then I decided to own it. And got 2 rounds of desert. They were small! I don’t know how some people subsist on such little food!
Greta @ fueledbyfresh says
This weekend we were pretty boring. It was raining here so we watched a lot of movies and I cleaned and organized the house as well as completed a few sewing projects! Florida looks like tons of fun! I bet that run was sweaty, so humid there! I lived in VA for a while and couldn’t stand the humidity during runs, it always felt like it was compressing my chest, gross! Is it very humid in CA? I’ve never been
Susan says
I ran the Indy Women’s Half Marathon here in Indianapolis. I was slower than I wanted to be but it was my 14th half of the year so far and I’m a little tired.
Elizabeth {Positively Healthy} says
I use to go crab fishing when went on vacation in South Caroline all the time! Looks like you have some awesome weather!!
Leslie @ Life Begins @ 30? says
Florida and the beach look amazing! I am ready for a beach vacation soon! Both of your swim suits are super cute.
Anne says
We have a house down there! Let me know if you need any good “hole in the wall” recommendations for eating! Cocomo’s has fabulous lettuce wraps and the ice cream/candy store right by it is hard to pass up! Enjoy 🙂
sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
Brave girl! First paddleboarding and now holding a live crab! I just biked a ton this weekend. Then went out to see a local rock band play and stayed out really late and now i’m at work falling asleep at my desk. Happy Monday!
Enjoy your M&B relaxing time.

Yes! tell me you belly flopped! #cliffhanger. Ran a 5k and then a 4 mile trail loop. Legs were dead. Marathon training started today. Switched from Big Cottonwood to Ventura. It’s hella hot in AZ
Shawna says
ahhhhh so amazing to be at the ocean! i was at my fam’s lakehouse all wknd and basically didn’t move off the boat except to go out on Sat night. loving this weather!
Flower says
Crabs scare the bejesus out of me! Have you seen a manatee yet? They have been all over the place.
Amy says
What a great looking vacation. It’s funny because for those of us who live in Florida tis the season to escape. Myself I also had a crazy overheated run this weekend and a beautiful ocean swim. But no crabs.
Megan @ The Skinny-Life says
I went to my first blogger retreat Blend I’m Park City. It was a blast!
Losing Lindy says
V had his first swim meet, then he had a soccer game, and yesterday we went fishing with boy scouts…I need a vacation! 😉
Polly @ Tasty Food Project says
I didn’t catch any crabs this weekend but I do plan on going crabbing next month!
Florida looks so beautiful! I want to go lay out on a beach!
Sue says
Love the hat! How many swimsuits/bikinis did you take along for the trip?
Livi says
Florida looks like a blast! Have fun!
Katie Morse - The Project Neon says
Dang! That really was a lot of crabs! I think I would have freaked out! Cute yellow bikini too!
Adjusted Reality says
That looks like an absolutely gorgeous, wonderful place to be. My fave thing this weekend was hitting the neighborhood pool, swimming laps in the sun, not the cave like our gym.
tara says
Looks like you are @ Marco island..i was there today…those. hermit crabs are crazy..covered the entire pathway to the beach @ tigertail beach…
eek!!!
Caroline says
AGH! I love LOVE LOVE Marco and am seriously enjoying seeing your pictures while there. Enjoy that amazing sand!
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
I beat my half marathon PR by over 9 minutes this weekend! Plus I feel like a bad-ass because it was a pretty hilly course, it was hot, and I still rocked it! 🙂
It looks absolutely beautiful there!
Julie says
No crabs, but I also had a mimosa (or two) and brunch for my birthday. My plate looked like yours…minus the fruit, so I think you did better! I did, however, run this morning and have a green smoothie for my after run meal so I think I’m OK. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!!
