Well new day new challenge. I didn't go for my run this morning as I had a bad night sleep. I made a promise that I would take my dog to the beach. Well... I got changed and straight back into the car with my dog & Husband in tow. My husband had a nice gentle walk while me and the dog did the program. I stayed to the firmer sand but wow what a workout! The pain was immense! I did my two 10 min runs and covered over just over 2 miles again. Looking forward to my hill. I will never complain about it again. It's bliss compared to the beach! Looking forward to the 25 mins!!!
Happy running all

Running on sand! sounds like hard work! Well done for getting through tho, and sound like you, hubby and dog had a good time! I will have to give it a go sometime when the tide is out! Good luck with your run 3........................
I can tell you from experience It's painful!!! My legs are still aching!
Even walking on sand is hard work. Well done. Best wishes.
I'm not sadistic by nature, but are there any dunes where you ran? If so, bite the bullet and run up and down them on a regular basis (assuming that they are not protected or fragile). The strengthening of your legs will be incredible, and next time you hit a road/trail hill you will fly up it.
