So far this is probably the best endurance event in South Florida. Well organized and with a great course. It is also ran in the best time of the year and the weather is unbeatable.

I must admit when I was walking to the starting line it was rather humorous to see all the drunk people staggering about wondering why I was dressed in such silly clothing..... Anyhow, the race went south down and over the Mac Arthur Causeway (which is an awesome run in the am, especially when you don't have to worry about cars)... the little hill before the main land made me wish I had run it more often when training. Then we scooted on over past the Arsht Center and up 2nd street. It was nice to be able to really look around, since in the 2 years I've lived here I don't think I ever have looked around there! Then we turned the corner to cross the Julia Tuttle Causeway.... At this point (6 miles in) I think I had to turn up my headphones to drown out the jaws theme music that started playing when I saw the hill to get on the causeway! AND, I had to laugh because they chose to have photogs camp out near the top of the hill.... I'm sure there will be some hilarious photos from that (especially from all us flatlanders that live on the beach). Thankfully there was a water table at the bottom of the hill, SCORE! But, then there was another little hill looming 2 miles up the road, thankfully we had some time to recover. Then the zigzag past the golf course & big houses, to the always entertaining Washington Ave then...... I should have looked at the course map more carefully.....I turned the corner, was running to the beach & thought I would get there and be home free... 2 more blocks (13th to 11th), FAIL! Had to go north for a hot minute on Ocean then back down to 11th to finish with my legs feeling like lead. Thankfully Esther G had set up in the grass in the final stretch & gave me the final cheers (and videoed me looking like hell -- she may be willing to sell it to anyone wanting to blackmail me...) to drive me to the finish, nothing like running along the sand for the final stretch with people cheering! The finish line was way less crowded and cluttered than I thought it would be & the after events were cool. The live music & beer tent were my favorites! I think part of the reason I liked the race so much is because it wasn't wall to wall people the whole time. You could get into a running groove without worrying about someone taking you out from behind & it was a lot less traumatic to grab water from the tables. I think for first timers or beginning runners this is a good race to start at. It didn't quite have the same hype as the ING (also not 22,000 people at the MB race), but I really enjoyed it, got a personal record & a shiny new medal!

Who knew installing infant/child car seats were so complex! Over the span of 3 days, my class learned the different variations of car seats, seat belts, and recommendations for car seat safety. It was a very hands-on class, and I was definitely exhausted after its completion! The location itself was easy to get too, and the room was perfectly set up for a class of 10. It did get a bit chilly though due to the cold front we had. That would probably be my only complaint. Otherwise it was clean, and a good set up. We also had a good amount of space in the parking lot to practice the car seat installations. Fortunately it is not a very active lot, and were not disturbed by many cars. I would definitely take another training here if needed!

However, you can catch me here 2-4 times a week as it is one of my most favorite places to walk and look at gorgeous homes.

When it comes to parking, off of Coral Way and Cardena street there is free visitor parking for up to 2 hours. Overall, it's a great walking route that has gorgeous homes as scenery and friendly folks you will see regularly walking or running about.

I didn't want to make a review right away because I wanted to go through the whole experience, but now I'm pretty sure I'm going to continue with them, so let me break it down for you. The short version, if you don't want to read a lot, is: Do it!!! The Experience: while in my youth I didn't have a car and I hated public transportation, so I used to walk a lot when possible, it's been about 20 years of being sort of a couch potato, with some brief stints at gyms and/or riding bicycles by myself... A friend of mine is training with Team Footworks, and she made it look attractive... though I still had some reservations because, generally speaking, I've felt that experienced athletes seem to look down upon couch potatoes, even on beginners' classes. Keep in mind, these are not classes, this is training, so my expectations were fairly low. Right before the season started, they made a zoom meeting where they explained all the program AND answered all questions. And then let us go to the first session without joining yet, just as a test. Overall, first session is: pick a group you think you can keep up with. Same with the following two sessions. I bounced around a little bit on those three sessions and then it was suggested to me that I should probably join the walkers, so I did. The whole season I stayed with that group, a very welcoming and encouraging group of people led by Debby and Renee. Every Saturday, we started stretching and warming up at the route-start point (the Footworks store), and increasing the mileage every session. They recommend, in addition to the Saturday sessions, you walk/run at least twice within the week, and do a different low-impact activity on one other day to round up the training and conditioning. If you want, you can join the "fun-run" every Tuesday and Thursday, where people from different groups just meet up and do about four or five miles at their own pace. That covers the twice a week training, leaving only the low-impact activity for you to figure out. After each season there is a "big event" (what you're supposed to be training for). But since covid has been messing up gatherings, my first season ended up with as "half marathon" event organized by Footworks itself, which was fun and showed us the progress. Now I'm starting my second season. Now I'm training with the runners. What they call the 3-1 group (run three minutes, walk one to recover, the three again and one again and so on and so forth. I feel I'm probably not ready for that group yet, but they have been so supportive and encouraging that pushing myself a bit over my comfort zone actually helps me get in better shape and improve, which is the whole point of the training. Each season is about three months, they're always pointing to a specific event (marathon or half-marathon, but it's just a goal to set your sights on, not a requirement. Also the Footworks store, has products for all your running needs and they are prepared for, willing to, and happy to help you and advise you in any way you need for your training. Plus, sometimes we go to happy-hour after runs, which helps make this something more like a group of friends who train together instead of just strangers who meet up to train, and that in turn helps you have an environment that promotes your coming back and doing the work.

I met with Eddie Suarez who introduced me to JP Huseby one weekend afternoon in early 2017 and we hatched an idea to create a 24 Hour Treadmill Challenge. The idea was to raise money for a charity. Being a fan of ultra marathons, and having run a few myself over the years, I also planted another idea to the team: why not try to break a world record. On December 30-31st between 4pm to 4pm the ideas we had been planning became reality: over $10,000 was raised for Make A Wish Foundation; ultra marathon legend Michael Wardian flew down from his home in Arlington, Virginia to try to break the 24 HR treadmill record which stood at 162.29 miles but the record stood firm as he managed just 130 miles; I ran 80 miles; Team Footworks 137 miles and Team M*ergy 126 miles. The entire set up took place outside of South Miami's Footworks store. And we had a great time! The whole event was pretty awesome and the atmosphere was also super positive. I hope we can do something similar in 2018.

The company maintains and tracks the credit for any packages you may have purchased. I have taken almost ten lessons with this company over the last 3 years and they honored credits from a package over a year ago. The event is more than just a kite surfing lesson. You get to go on a boat, you go to Stiltsville or wherever the wind is best and the area safest. You also get snacks and an adult beverage for the ride back. The total time is about 4 hours. They monitor the wind and try to only go out when there is enough wind to learn. Any questions just DM me. I am happy to help. Also, there is a restaurant right by the dock you leave from. So you can grab a bite after or before. I'll try to find a photo of the kite surfing.

I was able to get up on the board but wasn't able to get a run in longer than a few seconds. That all changed with SFKB. Not only did I break past that barrier, I was flying downwind in both directions. My first lesson with them was an absolute game changer Why is it so great to learn with SFKB? Wonderful staff and instructors, great equipment and a gorgeous boat to take you out to the riding spot. They took us out to Stiltsville, a giant sandbar with great wind, shallow water and calm waves. The location has so much room to ride in, and you don't have to dodge around a ton of people like you would on the beach. It's the best place I've been to to nail down the fundamentals and get comfortable riding. After two lessons, I'm getting even more comfortable riding up and downwind and am super close to being independent. Love this crew and can't wait to get back out on the water with them! ‍
