Notes from Florida…

My Life· Travel

FacebookTweetPin
23 Nov

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.

spark instead of coffee because i dont know how (450x800)

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

I run alone outside most of the time and would feel so much better! Anyway, happy T Day!
