Kayaking and other updates

Todd and I kayaked Weedon island on Saturday. We've been kayaking there before, but it was more of a fishing trip (fishing, not catching) and low tide so we weren't able to make it into the mangrove trails. This time, we checked the tide charts before heading out and were finally able to explore the trails! It was so cool! Like another world.

My running has been going well, for the most part. I ran  a couple of 5 milers last week, but I think I wore myself out this weekend by not getting my rest day in (Kayaking on Saturday; strength training on Sunday- probably should have skipped this). So my Monday run was pretty craptastic, and I could barely get in 2 miles this morning. I'm doing Yoga tomorrow and then a proper rest day before trying for 6 miles on Friday! Wish me luck!

Saturday Kayaking

We have not been doing so well when it comes to fishing (up until today neither of us had caught anything other than sea grass). So we were determined to do everything we could to catch some fish while kayaking today. That meant waking up at 5 am and being on the water before the sun had risen.


No sleep 'til fishing!

Why hello there Sun.

We got the inside scoop on the best place to launch from Todd's co-workers (he works in the fishing industry). We kayaked out to a little known spot called the "North flats", and lo and behold we caught some fish! Todd caught a big Jack fish that almost capsized him, and we both caught Snooks! None of them were keepers, but we did manage to snag a friends keeper redfish! Fresh fish is on the menu for lunch today.  Oh yeaaaahhhh!!!

There it is... Todd's tiny Snook!

We had a nice time out on the water today, but now I'm ready for a nap. Tomorrow we're going to the baseball game with my parents and Monday we're hitting the beach with some friends. Can't wait!

I'll be posting this week's runs at some point this weekend as well. I have another 5 miler tomorrow... we'll see how that goes.

Peace out suckas!

Kayaking Weedon Island

What a beautiful day! Todd and I kayaked and fished around Weedon Island in St. Petersburg this past Saturday. We didn't catch anything... as usual, but we did manage to get in a good work out! We arrived and started paddling around 7:30am and finished up at about 1:00pm. It was a little bit windier than expected, but that just made it more challenging!

See you soon Weedon Island!
