The wind was (for lack of a better word in my brain right now).....very windy.  13-20 mph, which can sting a little when it's blowing sand at you.   But all worth it for a morning run on the beach.

This am I ran into the wind first...much better plan than yesterday.  I ran south to the end of the island, and turned around when it started heading north again and turned into private piers.

It was 1.82 miles to the turn around point, so to get 4 I had to overshoot the hotel by .4 miles.  I just kept running and walked back for a cool down.  I found a couple neat seashells along the way, and despite my initial intentions to not run with my hands full of seashells, I ended up with 4 after all.  One for each mile.

Beautiful run...looking forward to going home & sleeping in my own bed.

And teen-agers still drive me insane!!!  How could I have ever been one of them???

Smart strategy, with the wind, that is.

I don't know what to tell you about teenagers. Are you cooped up in a hotel with them?

carolyn- I took my two, and invited one of their friends too. I thought having a friend would keep them from hassling each-other. The trouble was, they all just hassled me.

So glad I'm home and back down to only two. I will miss the beautiful scenery on my runs.

The good news is the azaleas bloomed while I was away...so I'll enjoy them tomorrow :-)

Ferocious

Brutal

Insane

Fierce

Vicious
