5 WEEKS and COUNTING

My Week At A Glance:

W   Rest  
T    Travel

Does it get any better?



As this goes live, I'm still enjoying a long weekend on the beautiful emerald coast with several running friends and fellow blogger buddies.  You'll have to be patient for the details.   Suffice it to say:  we had a blast, Florida Gulf Coast beaches never disappoint, and there were a few incredible PRs at the Panama City Beach half marathon.

I am soooooo proud of this lady (and all of our runners!)



Just one attempt...seriously!


Have you ever visited the Florida panhandle?  Which city?

Where is your favorite beach?

    1. It's actually quite different on the east, west, and panhandle coasts. But you can't go wrong with any location in FL.

    1. We've traveled to several tropical locations. We still think these are the prettiest beaches. You can't beat the sugar sand.

    1. I've never attempted a run on the actual beach. The sugar sands are pretty deep and fluffy. I'm too scared I'd turn my ankle. (Old lady problems!)

  13. I visit the panhandle a lot because my Aunt lives in Pensacola! I may have to put this half on my list of races to try.

    1. Then you know exactly how beautiful this area is. Definitely put this race on your list. It's very small town. But also well done.

  26. I haven't been to the panhandle besides driving through, but we're going to Destin in March. Hope it's not too chilly. ;) Maybe I can find a race? I really enjoyed Naples last year. Those beaches were lovely and I enjoyed seeing all of the mansions! Have a great week ;)

    ReplyDelete
  27. I've never been to PCB, or the panhandle, but it looks like you had a fun time at the beach and with the race. I can't wait to read more about it later on in the week. It looks like you had some good workouts leading up to it as well.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I could not have loved our weekend together more! I'm going to take you up on that waterskiing invite. Tell me when and where and I will be there... XOXO

    ReplyDelete
  29. Love the jumping pic & loved following you & Tricia on Insta all weekend. I've biked all through the panhandle. We started in Jacksonville, and were in the panhandle all the way until we hit Mobile, AL. So I'd say I got a pretty good tour, including Panama City.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I found more sand in my shoes even after shacking them out for the third time. I just smiled. How is it already over? Ahhh I'm still absorbing everything from this weekend! I'm already looking forward to March with you and hoping January will work out too! :)

  39. Like Darlene, this was my first time to the Panhandle, although I'd been to FL many times before. Kauia has my heart, but maybe the best beach I've ever been to was South Padre.
