Will be in Florida & offline for several days
Just wanted to write a note that I will be offline until Feb 22. My family is taking a winter vacation in Bonita Springs, Florida and man, we are looking forward to wearing something besides bulky (but warm) clothing! We are lucky enough to know someone with an oceanfront high-rise condo with all the extras, including a pool just a few steps from the white sands of the beach that overlooks the Gulf of Mexico. I’m not sure if the condo bldg has a fitness center of any kind so I will be taking my exercise bands just in case. I’ll try to be a good girl and get in some workouts!
So think of me this next week, lying on the beach getting a tan, playing some golf, doing a little fishing, and generally forgetting I live in the cold and snowy Midwestern state of Iowa. Florida… here I come!

Have an awesome time! I’ll be thinking of you here while the winds blow and the snow is coming down again in droves!! But then again…I can probably fit in your carry on now!!

Used to live there……Running in sand is a great workout….if you need to be creative with work outs while your gone. The packed sand near the water line is easier but if you want to grind out a good workout get in the loose stuff away from the water
