But running in Bermuda is even better! Goodbye snow and ice, hello shorts! This morning we found out that our mopeds were not going to arrive at BIOS until after 10am, so I decided to go for a quick run at 9am. I started off in the direction of the\u00a0rail-trail\u00a0that we walked on yesterday afternoon upon our arrival. I thought it was beautiful then, but today it was spectacular.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/geologyofbermuda\/2013\/01\/22\/sunshine\/image\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-145\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-145 alignleft\" alt=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/geologyofbermuda\/files\/2013\/01\/image-e1358897325453-225x300.jpeg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/geologyofbermuda\/files\/2013\/01\/image-e1358897325453-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/geologyofbermuda\/files\/2013\/01\/image-e1358897325453-768x1024.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I wish I had taken my\u00a0camera\u00a0along with me. Unlike our previous trip, the clouds parted and the sun was beaming down on me as I ran along. The wind was making the blue-as-gatorade ocean waters choppy, the sun shimmering on the waves. The balmy air made me smile. Or was that just the prickly\u00a0pears lining the trail and the warm wind at my back?<\/p>\n<p>As I made my way past Whalebone Bay, I noticed a few men along the beach with trash cans picking up all of the trash and debris our group had been so disgusted with yesterday. Thank goodness! I was worried that the people in Bermuda weren&#8217;t as concerned about keeping their environment clean as they should be.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/geologyofbermuda\/2013\/01\/22\/sunshine\/photo-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-144\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-144 alignright\" alt=\"photo\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/geologyofbermuda\/files\/2013\/01\/photo-e1358897386174-300x225.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/geologyofbermuda\/files\/2013\/01\/photo-e1358897386174-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/geologyofbermuda\/files\/2013\/01\/photo-e1358897386174-1024x768.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the locals, I was surprised with the attire of the people I saw out and about. They all had long pants and jackets on. But it&#8217;s 68 degrees! I was running in short shorts and a tank top, feeling sweatier than I have in months (I suppose this can be attributed to the frigid Maine weather during the winter). Everyone I passed was happy and friendly, cars eagerly waving me past them, walkers smiling and telling me to &#8220;have a good day.&#8221; I could get used to this.<\/p>\n<p>A run in sunny Bermuda! What a simple, yet great way to start the day. I&#8217;m looking forward to exploring more of the island in my running shoes. Maybe tomorrow I&#8217;ll be able to get some others to join me for my run!(?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bermuda is awesome. But running in Bermuda is even better!
