I just wanted to put this out there because I can’t quite believe that I ran for 25 mins and it felt easy!!!

I decided to run on the beach today as the sand was hard and I smashed it!!!

I was running along and kept having to question if I was actually running at all and not walking. It was wierd!

I’m really proud of myself that I’ve got this far 😁

Week 8 next .... bring it on!!!

Oh lucky you having a sandy beach to run on! That’s supposed to be really good for you too .

Yeah, I was lucky it was cool and cloudy today.. it’s normally too hot and humid to run during the day. I’m in Queensland, Australia.

Gotta love the almost effortless runs when they come... they more than outweigh the ones that suck, even if you have to check your your tracker to see if it was real. Great running, enjoy the next one.

Looks like you're doing really well. I tried beach running in Victoria, Canada last summer. The sand was firm, but ridged...wasn't good running, too uneven...disappointing. But the experience was good, so no complaints. Queensland must be hot right now, good you had a cooler morning to get out. Have you tried a 'cool towel'? they're great for keeping you cool whilst running. I used mine last summer when it was actually hot here in the UK.

Happy running 🙂🎄
