January Running Views

I ran down to the lake a lot this month because of my two mileage challenges. The scenery never disappoints. I find a pretty training route keeps me motivated.

As January moves into February, things are starting to bloom. Check out the orange Flame Vine below. My avocado tree is starting to bud. Our backyard tomatoes, green peppers, Basil, and lettuces seem to grow a half inch daily.

​Gotta say, I love living in Florida!

​Happy Running, everyone!
