I'm pretty sure running doesn't get more perfect.  65 degrees, on a flat fully lit boardwalk along the beach with a nice cool sea breeze.  It's going to be hard to leave this place.  I normally don't run shirtless, but I figure if the women can go topless here, so can I.  I woke up at 5:00 am (3:00am Utah time) to get my miles in, ran 9 miles on the boardwalk, 2 miles along the beach then I decided running in sand was going to make me hurt so I went back to the boardwalk for the final 3.

14 miles in 1:51:04  7:56 avg pace.

I wonder how well my weight loss program would sell??  "All you have to do it is run 16 to 20 miles a day and you too can burn up to 1 -2 lbs of fat per week"  For some reason it doesn't have a ring to it.

it doesn't have a ring to it because it requires lots of time and hard work. :)

still jealous...

Are you trying to talk me out of it?

This might make a nice Honeymoon destination ;). Actually I probably have better recommendations but it's an option.

i'm definitely not trying to talk you out of it -- it just wouldn't sell as a weight loss program because there are no shortcuts or magic elixirs involved.

Ah, but that's where you are wrong. I rub the Urine of Brazilian tree frogs in my navel before every run. I don't think it has anything to do with the weight loss, but I swear by it.

From Rob on Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 13:07:49 from 72.255.107.167

Just the price of a Brazilian tree frog.

I'll be in Brazil in 2 weeks I'll pick up a couple extra for you.
