He said: It's hot out there

I spent the Thanksgiving holiday with the Campbell family in Vero Beach, Florida. Besides the great company, I had great weather. Day one was all turkey, stuffing, potatoes and pie. Day two was time to burn off the calories from the previous day. We went on a 7 mile run at around 9am. The sky was clear, no humidity and the sun was starting to blaze. Probably around 80 degrees. I had been sick for over a week in New York and I was seriously doubting my running legs. Geraldine set the pace and we were off. We ran through a beautiful Florida development adjacent to a golf course. The southern foliage was a great change from the gray fall Central Park running course. After a loop throughout the homes we started on a running path on A1A. As the length of the run increased so did the heat. It felt great. Sweat beating down my face almost blinding me. Bike teams were cruising by waving to us and helping keep my focus on the run as I jumped over little lizards who were energized by the morning heat. I miss summer training. 2 runs in 2 days back to back - total 15 miles. Awesome.
