Running in warm weather

Here I am down south and enjoying some warm weather. I've been doing a fair bit of biking which is quite relaxing on the flat terrain of Florida. However, when it comes to my running, that's another story. I find that when I get into warm weather running, it quickly shows my level of conditioning. I'm probably carrying an extra 10 pounds at this time, so that's a factor. Coupled with that is the extra one eats during vacation.
So, my message today is a notation on the balance of diet in one's active life. Obviously I'm not dealing well with this on vacation, but now I know it's time to start and cut back and take off that 10 pounds for the upcoming running season. One of my problems is that I eat too many carbs, so step one is to go to the Canada Food guide and plan a balanced diet. Then the other part is to cut the portions.
Wish me luck and stay tuned for updates on my progress.
