I did my run today on the beach, which was wonderful in many ways. It was a beautiful day, and I thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous view of the ocean and dunes. I was nearly alone on the beach, and the simple peace and quietness of that was lovely. Also, the sound of the ocean providing a backdrop to the music from my iPhone added a calming element.
Running on the beach was also different in some ways. The headwind certainly made the actual running (at least the first half!) harder than usual. But the biggest difference was, of course, running on sand. I think I will probably not fully understand that difference until tomorrow morning, when I discover that different muscles than usual are achy. Guess we'll see.
