Are you from Canada?

marathoner452I must still look like a Northerner. A security guard along the metrorail path asked me if I was from Canada. Must have been the tank top I was running in-he thought it was freezing, I didn't think it was bad. It was probably 55 degrees, not toasty but not too chilly. I guess I'm not quite a resident yet. :-)
I had an awesome run today. I started off with the asphalt path under the metrorail south from Vizcaya. That started looking a little seedy (the barbed wire around the schools was the last straw) and the street crossings were getting irritating, so I turned around. I turned right in Coconut Grove towards the water, then ran on well-used bike paths and sidewalks until I got to Rickenbacker Causeway and Key Biscayne. That was the best part of the run-the bridge served as a hill, there were regular water fountains and I got to run under palm trees, along the water and see the Miami skyline. The best part is that Key Biscayne is really close to the Vizcaya metro stop, which is a straight shot from campus. So I'll be running there a lot-THAT was what I was dreaming of when I thought about running here!!!
Time to get back to work-I have reading to do for South Florida history and Caribbean culture.
Have fun skiing and sleeping and studying and whatever else you all are up to up there. Don't let the cold get you down.
