Our lazy days consisted of lounging at the beach and pool all day, dinners out, catching crabs on the beach after dark, a few side trips, and just enjoying being together, just the 3 of us, for 7 full days. One of our trips was taking an evening fishing charter out and catching 6 fish! Kaiden couldn't wait to go fishing and even drew a picture of himself fishing off a boat in the ocean the day before we left on vacation. So we made that a priority!
We decided we were going to go for at least one run so we rented Kaiden a bike so he could ride along side of Kevin and I while we ran. So early Tuesday morning Kevin convinced me to get off my comfy chair on our deck that overlooked the ocean, set down my coffee cup and go for a run..... ugh.. I was still recouping from 15 miles last Friday! But I did want to run at some point. Actually I wanted to run on the beach but forgot to pack my old shoes. And w/ Kaiden on his bike it probably would not have worked anyway. So we ran down Ocean Drive instead. While we did we checked out the other beach houses along the way. It was pretty hot and muggy and I needed to stop and walk for a bit about mile 4. We ran a little over 5 miles so I can say that yes I did keep the marathon training up even while on vacation!
Kevin ran a second time Thursday morning but I stayed put on my usual spot on the deck w/ my coffee and my view of the ocean waiting for Kaiden to get up. Exercise and vacation go together like oil and water in my book!

You can see our place on the map.... looks like I cut through the grass and driveways on the way back, but I really didn't!
And oh yea, first my Ipod, NOW my camera! Had it in the side pocket of our beach bag and went up our walkway to go in for lunch. They have a hose there to wash the sand off so I hosed off Kaiden, then me and handed it to Kevin. Bent down to pick up some of our toys and the hose was aiming right at the side pocket. Filled it up to the top w/ my camera inside. Grabbed it out as quick as I could but water poured out of it. Needless to say my camera was shot for a couple of days until it dried out but it's still not working right. Inside it's Ok, outside in the sun there's a bunch of lines that run across the picture. This happened Thursday so I resorted to a disposable camera for the last couple of days.. I get those back tomorrow so we'll see how they turn out. Of course I didn't buy the warranty (does anyone???) so I might be camera shopping again soon.
But now we're back home and back to the busy daily hum of our lives.. and I have speed work at the track tomorrow.. yikes
