tuesdays on the run: (florida) winter scenes from my run

February 8, 2017      7 Comments

Happy Tuesday!  I’ll be joining up with My No-Guilt Life, Marcia’s Healthy Slice and MCM Mama Runs for “Tuesdays on The Run”!

Tuesdays on the Run

This Tuesday, we are talking about….

(Florida) WINTER

Yeah.

So.

Running in the winter in Florida? It’s kind of the same as every other day in Florida.

Of course, these sunrises are stunning and inspiring, but a little lacking in winter wonderland quality.

Don’t get me wrong. The temps do sometimes dip into the 20s and 30s. And it’s pretty awful because we aren’t acclimated to it and  for the most part, I don’t have the gear to make those cold-morning runs more tolerable. But it’s nothing like what people in the north and other, more wintery parts of the country face in the month of January and February.

I did have the opportunity to run in snow one time. It was in Savannah last April, and it absolutely flurried on me while I was out for a few miles.

It didn’t stick. There was no accumulation. But somehow, it was one of the most magical runs I’ve been on. I would really enjoy the opportunity to do it again!

What does winter look like in your part of the world?

Do you prefer having an actual winter or do you like the idea of spring/summer year-round?

    Our winters are usually between 30-50 degrees and this year has been mild. We get a snow once in a while but when we do school is usually delayed so we always cross our fingers for snow….lol.

    I certainly wouldn’t mind Florida weather. Running in snow is magical some how but after having done it a few times, I don’t think I would miss it if I didn’t do it again.

      The grass is always greener, right? Literally.

      I think we always look for that which we do not have. 🙂

    Ahhhh! I could use some Florida about now. I do like the change of season we have here but could do without the extreme (sub zero) cold and ice. The snow is beautiful and yes, magical. How wild to see some in Savannah!

      LOL! I bet you could after all the weather you’ve been having!

      Savannah was crazy! No one could believe it was snowing (and everyone was totally as excited as kids, present company included).

      It’s all about perspective, right? That being said, I would love to have some snow!

    I legit hate winter. Thankfully I’ve been able to escape for short periods the last few years! Apparently there are several inches of snow at home and more on the way. My flight’s been canceled so I get one more day of Florida winter! You know, 83 and sunny.

Let’s talk about balance. Balance is an area wh Let’s talk about balance.

Balance is an area where I sometimes struggle, physically and emotionally. It can be a challenge to fit in all the things I want and all the things I need. I don’t always love doing the mundane or tedious tasks that ultimately lead to the foundations of the things I am more passionate about.

I am taking a little more time to build on the basics, and find my balance. It’s going to lead to a healthier and happier me.

How do you find your balance? Do you struggle with the basics?

Sometimes, the weather is too beautiful not to run Sometimes, the weather is too beautiful not to run.

I worked through some cardio under the blue skies and in the fresh air and then came home to @runsmartofficial’s base building boot camp. 

There was A LOT of focus on balance and feet and ankles, as well as ground work in the form of different planks and push-ups. 

The movements were small but effective and my legs are certainly burning! It’s going to get harder as we go, but I’m excited to spend more time on my stability and form, to see if it makes me stronger and more efficient over time.

What was on your workout calendar today?

This morning, I started on a new training plan wit This morning, I started on a new training plan with @runsmartofficial. I have a goal race in May, so I am going to see if I can make some improvements along the way.

I can admit that I am built more for distance than speed, but I am taking a crack and improving my pace over the next ten weeks. Keep your fingers crossed 🤞🏻!

Anyone else starting a new training plan and cycle?

Congratulations to the @staugalligatorfarm for another fantastic event. It was a beautiful morning, with lots of enthusiastic runners and walkers, and we were so happy to be there. 

A portion of proceeds went to benefit Orianne Center for Indigo Snake Conservation (OCIC) and AZA Saving Animals From Extinction (SAFE), partnering to celebrate Eastern indigo snakes, which makes the race even more important.

Come take a peek at how the morning went and head over to the blog to read more about it! (Link in bio) https://runswithpugs.com/2023/03/15/race-report-raptor-run-3k/

When the time changes and you are back to running When the time changes and you are back to running in the dark. It’s not the worst thing, although I’ll like it better when it’s not quite so cold.

Are you back to running in the dark?
