Barbados:  It was 86 and humid today.  I love being in the warm weather and out of the cold but it is not easy for running.  My body is wanting to know how to go from 16 degrees to 86 degrees and it is not going very good.  I started off ok but after around 4 miles I was really feeling the heat and had to slow down and jog in.  Also, I didn't find a very good place to run so was just running through the streets dodging cars because of the small sidewalks.  It was nice to get outside.

I had no idea there was anyplace that warm right now! You get to run in a lot of interesting places.

Yes, 86 is great for laying on the beach but not for running.

Mark, I am blessed to run in a lot of neat places. It is also a great way to see the area. I ran in a lot of places I wouldn't have went if I was just sightseeing. You really get more of a fell for the culture and the people.
