Sunday is run day! Yes, that's right, it was the long run this morning, which was 7 miles. Slightly longer than last week so I added to my route. I did the hill street then back (~2 miles total), down Riverhills (~4 miles total), and added on a bit at the end which took me past the golf club (~1 mile). As I was heading to the golf club, I was nearly hit by two retirees in a golf cart who were driving on the sidewalk. Welcome to Florida. I don't think any single moment has summed it up more succinctly.
Today was not nearly as humid as last week, but still not the awesome conditions of Tuesday. Ah well. You need some runs that will stick out as amazing, right? If all of them were like that, they would just get boring (not really, but allow me to live in my fantasy world).
After the run, I went around and got a few more pictures. Still no 18th-hole-epiphanies like Billy Graham. Here are some of the favorite houses from today, with the added bonus that you can see the power of Mr. Florida Sun:

That porch up top kills me. No idea what purpose it could serve, except it might be fun as a place to hang out during parties. |
|
Good that it does not snow here with that roof. Notice power of Mr. Florida Sun. |
|
This house really caught my attention today. I like the trees in the front too. |
|
This house has a whole lot of stuff going on. There is also a gazebo off to the left that I couldn't fit in the frame. Rock the casbah! |
And my favorite yard of the morning:

Flamingos on parade! |
I think I'm getting the Mr. Florida Sun thing from when I did sailing as a kid and they used to always refer to the wind as 'Mr. Wind.' As in, 'when Mr. Wind comes at you from this angle, it is to your maximum advantage to have your sails at this angle.'
Love the flamingo parade!
