I've decided that I love to run on the beach! We were just in Cape Hatteras and we ran on the beach twice and it was fabulous.
I have run on a beach before, but I didn't enjoy it as much. It depends on the conditions.
On the previous beach I ran on in Florida, the sand was very dry and soft so it was like running through snow. A great workout but not exactly inspiring. Also it was very hot that day and there wasn't a whiff of a breeze, and I'm not great with the heat anyway.
In Cape Hatteras though there was a great ocean breeze. The sand I ran on was hard-packed. As I ran I could look toward the horizon and see the sky curving around the sand, and I could see a fine mist in the air from the huge waves crashing onto the shore.
Also as I ran I was accompanied by hundreds of tiny little sand crabs that would hear me coming and fling themselves into their little homes before my feet. How often does that happen to you while you run?
Did I mention I loved it?
