Pretty darn fantastic run this morning.  I'm at the Harbor Marriott on Ft. Lauderdale beach, it doesn't start getting light here until after 6:00 am but that's OK cause that's only 4:00 Utah time so my schedule wont get too messed up.  Started out running the sidewalk from my hotel along the beach, I felt really good, nothing hurt and I was running comfortable at about a 7:00 pace flying past other people.  The humidity was bothering me a little bit but a nice breeze kept it bearable.  At 3 miles out my knee started hurting a little bit so I turned around and ran back to the hotel, stripped off my socks, shoes, and shirt and ran hippie style on the beach.  Another 2 miles out and back for a total of 10, running on the sand right along where the waves hit the sand is the best place to run, every once in a while a wave will come cool off your feet and that is where the surface is the hardest but it still gives your calves quite a workout.

I can't decide if when I'm rich and retired if I'd rather be a beach bum or a mountain bum.  Both would be very nice, if I'm rich enough I'll just do both Florida in the winter, Montana in the Summer.

Oh, sure, Jeff L had to one up me by running in Hawaii, Jealous!!

Very nice.

It would be nice to alternate b/w being a beach bum and mountain bum depending on the seasons :-)

Ha. I agree. On my run this morning I couldn't decide whether I liked the beach or the mountains better. I'll take the best of both worlds like you mention. Hope your knee gets better. Man you just can't shake these injuries.

As a person who grew up 50% in California and 50% in Florida, I have to ask why you would prefer Florida?

I prefer the more tropical beaches. All other factors aside I would like the Bahamas, but I wouldn't live there for other reasons. You do make a pretty compelling argument though, So. Cal has perfect weather. I guess I'll have to be a little richer and have a house there too. Oh and I can't forget my Swiss Villa in the alps.
