Right In Our Back Yard

Good Morning!  Each morning we wake to a symphony of sounds, sights and smells.  It takes me a few minutes to remember where I am.  The sound of the waves, the wind throught the palm trees and hundreds of tropical birds calling out to one another makes it feel as though you have just spent the night in a tree house in the Amazon.

Our backyard is filled with beautiful lush plants and flowers.  Banana, lemon, avocado and coconut trees incompass the yard and creating a natural oasis. (not to mention fresh organic produce)

The pool has remained admired but not used, it's a little chilly.  A beautiful waterfall fills the saline pool each morning.  The cold water would probably be just right after our evening evening runs. 

By evening run, i mean drag session!!!  We decided right off the bat to make the most of our beautiful surroundings and have wasted no time in gettng back on the healthy and fit track. And while 1.5 miles does not sound  rough, when your shins and hip flexers haven't had that kind of action in 8 years you feel every single step!!!  Each night as we round the bend we realize we have made it to the home stretch.  We throw each other a high five and exhausted smirk and knowing smile...we are one day and 1.5 miles closer to being "there"!
