Merry Christmas

Just because it is a holiday does not mean we can take a day off!  (Remember we are two weeks behind schedule due to the stress of work, cold of home, and hibernation syndrome of winter right before I headed over here to Miami)

So with that in mind, my sister and I did an intense 75 mins spinning class.  I swear that was the first time I have done spinning, and it not for the faint of heart!!!  I totally was not mentally prepared for that session.  Of course, I plan to torture myself a couple more times before I leave.  ;-)

After spinning, we kept our regularly-scheduled hour long tennis sessions.  After tennis, we did a couple laps around the courts and a set of full-length suicides. In fact we do laps and/or suicides before/after every tennis session.

 Suicides are where you sprint from the base line to the service line and back, from the base line to the net and back, from the base line to the opposite service line and back, from the base line to the opposite base line and back.

Please excuse the hair!  This was post work out after all!

Day at Hollywood Beach - Christmas Eve

Is it a full-fledged Miami vacation without a trip to the beach??  Of course not.  After a day of tennis and gym with my sis, we decided to head to Hollywood beach for a late lunch and a walk with another of our sisters and a friend of mine from college.  (Don't ask how long ago that was!!!)

On our way there...

And of course the drinks I had...

That was a an interesting concoction with Jalapeno-infused tequila and lime juice.

And of course, a couple hot toddy's!!! Egyptian Mint and Ketel One Citron

After three rounds of drinks and a some nosh, we decided to take a walk on the beach...
