Greeting from Blustery Tampa!!!

Boy is it cold here! I mean… not for you northerners, but for us Floridians… brr. Let’s backtrack to Wednesday. You might remember that I had a LONG cardio session planned at the gym. Normally I would have done a long trail run, but my calf has been bothering me so instead I cobbled together 4 hours of cardio, split between the bike, elliptical, and running on the treadmill. DONE! Within that four hours, I did 90 minutes of running on the treadmill, and my calf did just fine. Then… we blasted off to Tampa! We got in on Wednesday night (it’s a four hour drive from where we live) and Thursday morning I went with my daughter to register. I got my chaperone badge… … and she got her badge. Lately I’ve had some frustrations with her (just normal teenage stuff, but it can be a lot) and when I looked at her badge, which says “All State Student” I realized I’m proud of her. She’s an all state player! Sometimes I forget to appreciate the good things. Now I’m hanging out, seeing friends, and reading! I brought along a book I knew I would love: Coming up tomorrow- a bookish blogger adventure! Have you ever been to Tampa? What would you do with a few days off in a different city?
