Friday brain freeze, Saturday Beck 5K run (aka, very slow walk with lots of stops)
After a week of marathon editing in another city, someone asked, “How was your vacation.”
I spent most of the week staring at a 17 inch laptop monitor taking turns reading my book with Vickie. She’s a great sequence editor.
Anyway…
…my eyes are fubarred, my head is spinning, and all day I walked around thinking it was Monday.
Tomorrow will be a lot like Monday, too, only with costumes, contestants, and cake.
Back to why I returned on Friday instead of taking the ENTIRE week off.
Yes, I had to come back on Friday. Or so I thought. Turns out, since I was already pre-registered, someone else could get my bag of goodies for the 5K run/WALK just by showing up at Beck Auto and giving my name.
If I’d stayed for one more day of editing, I could’ve entered the superhero costume contest as Vegetated Brain Woman.
They’ll have a few special guests there
And…tell me: Who WOULDN’T want to run on the shorelines of a place that looks like this?
If you live in Jacksonville or St. Augustine, you can take the 45 minute drive and register there. If you live in Orlando, it takes 2 hours. If you live in Canada, forget it.

Did I mention this is my boss?
She’ll be there, too, and MAN can she RUN!!!!
I’ll be wearing long pants with ridiculous red and blue stripes from the knees to the ankles. And…quite possibly…a long sleeved shirt.
It might actually be *shudder* 88 degrees when I’m walking.
MUST…STAY…WARM
Look…if I can walk 3miles, 188.0665yards in freezing weather (for Florida), anyone who doesn’t have vertigo and has two working legs can do it, too.
Hope to see you there.
Just look for the aquarium hat.
OMG! It’s saturdY and my brain hurts and my left eye is Fubarred! Enjoy the walk. Cheers,H

I came in 3rd in my age group (women). I was told I shouldn’t mention there were only 5 in my age group. 🙂

It was actually a lot of fun. I made it past the finish line faster than people half my age. And at the end there was PIZZA!

True, just a tad bit far for me. Thanks for the Canada mention! LOL BUT, interestingly, I used to visit St. Augustine to see a friend, many years ago. Unfortunately, she moved, and we lost touch.

My son comes to Palatka for a mini-vacation. The motel is on the St John’s river and a lot cheaper that motels in St. Augustine or Daytona beach. They drive to the beach one of the rent a motel room in Palatka so

I was in the middle of a reply and hit the send button too early. My son and his family take a 3-day mini-vacation. They like to go to a St. Augustine beach during one of those days. The riverfront is a beautiful area.

It is. I remember how lovely it was. I went down there after I had my gall bladder out to recoup and it was a wonderful way to rejuvenate. 😊

The best time to be here for most people is early May or late October. It’s 80 around that time.

You guessed it. Too chilly for me, but most other people think it’s great.

Then maybe wait just a few more years before you return to Canada to visit Toronto because Climate change is jacking up the temp and humidity here at alarming rates during the summer. LOL

We’re seeing just the opposite here. It should be 90 – 95 but instead we’re seeing temps from 85 – 90.
