Today I decided to change things up and did an out and back run at Mission Beach. I had to laugh a bit at the elevation graph because I usually have no choice but to run hills where I live. Here's how flat it was:
OK, so there's a little blip. That was just going up a slight incline towards the pier where I turned around. Knowing I would be at the beach, I brought some swim wear, a towel, sunscreen and my camera.
I'm still trying to figure out the self portrait thing. (Penny, how do you always take such cute self portrait pictures? Do I need to bring my dog along?) It's an odd angle, but, for whatever it's worth, that's me at the beach. Yes, I did go in the water, and it felt wonderful, especially on my tired legs.
I need to run at the beach during the week more often.
I had my session at RU yesterday. Even with DOMS it was more of the same. I was spent when I was done, but it was good. Eventually I'll have the body to go with the workouts. I'm still working on the fluff.
Tuesday's song:
Generous Return - Bruce Myers

wow - that's REALLY flat running.
Ah yes, those look like the inclines here in Myrtle Beach. non existant!!!
I can't take good self-pics.
Wow...a run, ending in the beach! I'd love to do that.
"i get around" - that would be the beach boys! one of my favorite songs of theirs.
looks like a nice day to be at the beach!
Yah, you won't get a lot of elevation when you're running at the beach, will ya? LOL
Fluff?
You DO get around!
I admire your determination and dedication!
Oh, woman, you are SO cute! LOVE the self portrait! How very nice to have a beautiful beach so close and USE it!
You look great in the self-portrait. Very relaxed, and happy to be at the beach. Great way to "cool down."
Nicely done. Thanks for the email with the links to the track clubs.
Irene, I think you did a very good job on the self-portrait. And I oh so envy you for having the beach right THERE, in your back yard practically. :)
I have trouble doing self portraits too, but I think you did a good job on this one. As Evelyne said, what a great thing to have a nearby beach that you USE.
I wonder if I'm going to have that Beach Boys song going through my head now... "Round 'round, get around, I get around, yeah, get around woo-oo, I get around..." :-)
So cool that you can jump in at the beach when you're done - that's some good preparation!
nice self-pic!
i like that giant bump in the middle of the route. did you hop over it?
Lisa,
Flat, but interesting. Lots of tourists.
Heather,
It's a good change up in the running week, especially the flatness.
Mel,
It took a few tries.
Barbie2be,
It was a VERY good day to be at the beach. Next time I'm going to go earlier. Winner!
Juls,
Thanks. :)
IRFF,
I haven't done that too often, and now I'm wondering why. The post run jump into the ocean was great.
Jo Lynn,
I guess the hills depend on the beach! That one IS flat. Fluff is a nicer term than fat.
Lee,
It keeps running interesting! Thanks.
Evelyne,
I need to visit the beach more often!!! Thanks.
Anne,
Just about any time at the beach is going to make for a much better day.
Katie,
You're welcome! There's tons of clubs out there.
Cami,
It's not very far at all. I feel fortunate to live here. I need to go to the beach more often.
Rachel,
It took a few tries to get me centered and not showing things I didn't want to show! I need to visit the beach more often, that's for sure.
RunningLaur,
I always have a swim suit and towel in the trunk of my car, just in case...
Deene,
LOL. I wish I could have jumped over that bump in the run! LOL.
