5 Florida miles. Not so runner friendly where I'm staying, in a rental home. It's off a 60 MPH road so I stayed to the half mile of sidewalk then turned up a deserted street full of Recession Townhomes - all empty but look great on the outside. I hear someone yell at me from nowhere and it is a security guard who had been sitting in a car I didn't see. Says it's Private Property and I can't be there. Argh. I'm still ticked at him - a guy in a tanktop, shorts, listening to his iPod can't run through the perfectly developed road WITH a bike path? I told him if I got hit by a car it was his fault and went elsewhere. Thankfully found a true neighborhood across the highway and got in my miles. Man, it's humid here! No duh, but true. Felt great though and lots of oxygen. I wish I could find a 5K here. Billings was 18 degees just a few minutes ago. 72 and climbing in Orlando. Guilt. Okay, guilt gone.

AP: 8:49.

Ahhh that sounds soooo nice! For some reason I thought you said you were going to Arizona, but Florida does sound so much better! Lucky! Even though it's for work, enjoy your runs in the warmth!!!

These are the sacrifices you make to take care of your family, Russ. I feel your pain.
