Billed as southwest Florida’s premiere pre-New Years Run, it was anything but that. Yes, I ran 3.1 miles on the beach with an amazing view, but the areas of loose sand slowed you down and was hard to run in. Most importantly, a rare winter cold front arrived the night before and instead of 63 weather it was 40 degrees at race time. The offshore winds made the wind chill even colder. Thank God I brought a toboggan with me to wear. So, it wasn’t a warm paradise but still a run with a great view.
