As someone who has lived in Florida since 2003, it’s hard to believe that I’ve never gone for a run on the beach until this morning.
After stopping for dinner at my father-in-law’s house last night and leaving Sadie in good hands with him and his girlfriend, Ryan and I drove to Sanibel Island to join my family for a weekend vacation at the beach.
This morning Ryan and I awoke around 7:30 a.m. and headed out to the beach for a run.
We ran toward the end of the island to the light house before turning around and coming back. We actually saw a sting ray washed up on the beach which was really neat (and a little sad… poor guy).
In the end we covered five miles before walking along the beach for a bit.
When we arrived back at the condo, my family was up and about and chatting away. Ryan and I quickly prepared his and hers breakfast bowls of oatmeal with sugar and peanut butter.
I added more sugar than I intended to and my bowl ended up tasting a lot like oatmeal peanut butter cookie dough. I’m not complaining though because it was delicious!
Now we’re about to change into our bathing suits for a day at the beach!
See ya soon!

I LOVE Sanibel Island! I used to vacation their with my family every year when I was really young 🙂
Did you run on the compact sand or is it really squishy soft sand? I imagine that is twice the workout!
wow that is so funny yesterday was my first time running on the beach as well though it was a bit of a mess, forgot my garmin, men of war every where but i will for sure do it again. enjoy your vacation!
So jealous! 60 degrees in New England feels great but nothing like Florida weather would; enjoy!!!
Running on sand is HARD! Go you!
So jealous that you’re on the beach today! That’s definitely where I wish I was – the FL weather is GORGEOUS today! 🙂
You guys are stinkin’ adorable.
Wait a sec, you put your garmin on the underside of the wrist!? I have to try that — if you recommend it — my garmin sometimes bothers me when I wear it in a normal watch-style
One of our very best vacations together was to Anna Maria Island — we stayed right on the beach in a big house with friends…and at the time, I wasn’t a runner. I’m still regretting not picking up the hobby earlier because it would have been an amazing route to run!
You two are SO cute! Not sure I’d be complaining about cookie dough-tasting oatmeal either!
