Little Runs and a Big Walk in Key West

At the end of a long walk around nearly the entire perimeter of Key West (minus Stock Island), we were rewarded with these beautiful sunset views.
We spent 8 weeks in Key West, leaving yesterday to head north to Key Largo for a week.

While in Key West, I ran several mornings for about 50 minutes to an hour.

I'd planned to run the circumference of the island, but didn't quite make it.  We walked it though, most of it, in flip-flops.  We headed out from Sigsbee Road, at around mile marker 4 and went clockwise, walking along the water on the promenade on the Florida Bay side, and past where Rt 1 heads north up the Keys, and along the Atlantic side heading south.  We had dinner at Santiago Bedega, but by that time our feet were sore.  After dinner we cut as directly back towards Sigsbee as we could, walking north on Truman Street and hitting some other smaller streets before the promenade again, going past the VFW and the Key West Yacht Club.  All in all, I think it was at least 10 miles.

Not that much of a walk, distance-wise, really, but a record for us in flip-flops. Craziness.
