I went for a run on the equator Marco Island this morning. 
Pretty sure it was 85 degrees with 100% humidity. I almost died. 
But, then I remembered we were going to a buffet for breakfast. So I dusted myself off and decided to live another day eat another big meal 
6 slow miles on the equator should be celebrated with iced coffee.
Ben and I took pictures in front of the Marriot on Marco before eating.
Happy Vacation!!!
I don’t drink juice too often (since I’d rather eat my fruit), but this Orange Juice is freshly squeezed and amazing!
In addition to the deliciousness of a buffet – it’s so pretty too!
“Mon-i-caaaa…”
“…put me in your purse for lay-ter….”
I started with a veggie omelet from the omelet bar, chocolate chip pancake, pecan roll (shared) and chicken sausage. Plus a yogurt granola parfait.
My second plate involved fruit and a donut. I think I mentioned it, but I have been craving a donut like crazy! I ate the whole thing, craving satisfied 
And in case you care, technically the equator goes through Ecuador. I’m aware

See you in a bit!
I miss breakfast buffets! I’m not a fan of eggs and now I can no longer eat gluten, so I can pretty much never eat at a breakfast buffet again unless all I want is fresh fruit.
I am such a wimp with humidity and heat. I don’t know if I can leave the Pacific NW!
I LOVE Marco Island and the Marriot is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve stayed there a few times and love it. Enjoy your vacation!
Your dress looks so cute in the Marriott picture!
Buffets are certainly motivating, aren’t they? I did the same to myself at this morning’s race… I thought about churrascaria while logging up the hills, lol!
I don’t think that there is anything better than a breakfast buffet! 🙂
It’s a fact that Californians are spoiled. And that’s what makes me proud to be one.
Hahaha I like the “passed-out-on-the-street” picture…and the ones with the buffet food.
Mmmmmm chocolate chip pancakes!
I love breakfast buffets that are actually GOOD- makes sleeping in on vacay all the much sweeter, yeah?
God, I’m happy it’s never humid here! I would have melted.
That buffet looks amazing- I have totally snuck muffins and such out of buffets and into my purse before, haha. I also snuck a baked potato out once and forgot about it overnight… yeah, never going to do that again!
were the bread rolls and pats of butter begging to be placed in your purse, too! i’m SO going to be that old lady that steals food from buffets. side note, i define “old” as right now. 🙂
Oh my gosh where is that heavenly buffet located?! It looks delish!!
Ah, running in FL during the summer is awful, haha. I’ve lived here my entire life and it still gets to me.
That breakfast, though, looks gorgeous and super delicious! 🙂 I hope you enjoy the rest of your vacay!
I live farther North than Marco Island (in between Orlando and Tampa) but it is crazy hot here. It’s easier for me to run after work because I go in at 7:30 but might need to suck it up and get up early enough to run in the mornings.
That breakfast looks really yummy.
I always go wild at breakfast buffets. What is it about the buffet that makes me able to justify foods I would otherwise have zero interest in? They’re just SO excitingggg!
The humidity is killer! 6 miles is impressive in those conditions!
Hahaha ‘…put me in your purse for lay-ter…’ naughty little pastries! And well done on the run! I think I managed about 3k this morning, also in 85 degrees heat… It killed me!! How you did 6 miles I’l never know!
Way to stick with a humid run! I hate running when the humidity is over 30% (clearly, I’ve been living in so cal for too long). AND super jealous that your in Marco! My family and I used to go to Marco yearly until two years ago. I miss it so much and I feel like a moderate creeper because I can tell exactly where you are based on the background of the pics. Hope your having a good trip!
Me too, I blame CA for making me such a wimp with humidity!
Lol, love your drop dead pic!
Breakfast buffets must be one of the best inventions E-VER. Everything looks yummy!
Totally agree, breakfast buffets make me happier than anything 🙂
Just so you know, I’ve been pretending like I’m on vacation every time I read your posts. 🙂 Glad you’re having fun!
Great job onthe hot humid run! Running at the beach when it’s hot like that always makes me feel BA. idk why tho haha. Also your breakfast looks sooo good!
Wow, nice breakfast spread–whenever I stay at a hotel, it usually consists of Lucky Charms and dry bagels…
6 miles! That is awesome. I’m moving to Atlanta from Seattle and can’t even imagine running, let alone doing any sort of activity, in that sort of heat. Good work 🙂
Great job on the run! I’m glad you’re having fun in Marco Island. Isn’t the humidity crazy!? That’s how our race was yesterday!
