Vacation taper- part 10. Makes it sound exciting. I guess I have not even touched on the wild life we have encountered. One thing I love about dad's is everything that is around. Sure I have seen plenty of bunnies and squirrels like normal, but on various runs and other times I have the fun of spotting 2 turtles (1 in water and 1 out), 5 Dolphins, 2 Sea Slugs, a few sand dollars, Ghost Crab, Stone Crab, A dying Jellyfish, A black racer snake, a baby pygmy rattlesnake, a falcon (or maybe osprey) among several other bird, Several clams and looking to spot the manatees tomorrow. (We have seen them and manta rays in past years here). 

Enjoying ourselves, Hot/humid run this morning, last few miles sub MGP. Looking forward to running in cooler weather soon, still predicting 50 degree at race start.

a dying jellyfish, eh?

50 degrees sounds perfect for the race, as long as it doesn't get too much hotter!

Getting excited, sounds like you are in a perfect stress-free taper spot.

Yep Allie- don't mess with the live ones! It shouldn't get that much warmer by the time I finish. JG- I certainly hope so! Flat- it has been pretty stress free, I was hoping that traveling would not hurt the legs and less stress would be benifical even if I ate more :)
