Boxing Day beach run.

Today the salt spray was blowing and streaming back off the breaking waves in the wind - you could see why they are called "white horses"! Sun, wind, sand, sea - even a slow, tired run was a joy. 😀

Sand is hard work but well worth the effort. Great post and photo

Thanks John, I am realising that sand as a surface to run on varies a lot, even when just considering the area of wet sand. ( I don't run on the dry sand at all.) My nearby beach really is quite firm, but is at its best just as the tide is going out. Today I ran as the tide was coming in & it was noticeably softer than my previous run. I shall be checking the tide tables from now on! 😀

Lovely!

Something very special about running on the beach, watching the day come in. Lovely :)

Oh I think I will need to find somewhere on the coast to run. What could be better than combining the sea and running.
