AM: The ship was docked at Key West, so my Garmin was somewhat accurate as I ran on the deck of the ship. Still, it was very windy and humid and running on the deck of the ship was difficult. I was wearing a cap and had to really struggle to keep it on when I was going into the wind. I had over slept a bit and didn't have a lot of time, but I managed to get in 3.22 miles. This mileage measure is according to my Garmin. Average pace, according to Garmin, was 9:37. I guess the ship was drifting a little, so maybe my Garmin figures aren't so accurate. Here's a picture of my running route: I'm really bad about taking pictures and so I don't really have any. My oldest son took a lot of pictures. I'll try to get some from him and post them later.
I had to get to breakfast on time because after breakfast we were going parasailing. I went up with my 14-year-old and then he got to go again because we had an odd number of people and my 16-year-old needed a partner. Then my husband went up with my 12-year-old. The 6-year-old stayed behind with grandma and grandpa. It was fun and not nearly as scary as I thought it would be. But the boat ride was a little nauseating. One of the tour operators took a bunch of pictures of us parasailing and sold us a CD with the pictures. So here's a picture of my son and I just before as we were getting ready to go up into the air: Here's a picture of us up in the air:
We had some free time in the afternoon, so I managed a run on the treadmill. I did 1 mile at 10:00 pace, then 1 mile at 9:31 pace, then 2 miles at 8:57 pace. Even though it is climate controlled inside the ship, I got incredibly sweaty running on the treadmill. I don't know why I sweat so much. Other people didn't seem to be as sweaty. I had to wipe down the whole machine when I was done. Fortunately one of my nephews showed up in the fitness center during my run and I got him to hand me a towel. I had neglected to grab one before I started running. After that run I had to hurry and get dressed because it was formal night and we were having family pictures taken before dinner. |
