On Running In Fort Lauderdale: Pros and Cons
Where to begin? OK, 0945 and still time for a quick run before brunch with mom and dad. I am staying at my sister’s house and she lives in a lovely neighborhood right off of a golf course/club area. (they don’t golf, thank goodness). As my cup is perpetually half-full, I focused on the Pros, but alas, I must admit, there were some Cons…

Ibis, Egrets, Hawks, Blue Heron, unknown but lovely sounding songbirds |

Plastic water bottles along the grass and floating in the mad-made lakes |

Being reprimanded by a dapper fellow in a golf cart to stay off the course, so they would not be “liable if you get hit by a golf ball” |

A hot dog and soda concession, on a modified golf cart, cruising around the course |

No pick-up-after-your-dog rule (guess how I found out??!) |
|
A great workout! |
