Felpham 5-mile run

Hi lovely running friends, I completed the Felpham 5 race this morning along the beach. The weather wasn’t too bad and at least it stayed dry.πŸ‘

The surface was a mixture of sand, shingle, seaweed and rock pools. It was a tough run but I’m very pleased I finished it! I’d definitely do it again and I’ll never complain about running on roads and pavements again either! 🀣

Thanks cheekychipmunks the legs feel OK so far, but I expect a little stiffness tomorrow after a good night’s rest 😴

That looks like fun David_G ! I've run on quite a few different surfaces but never on a beach. What were your shoes, please?

Well done David πŸ‘πŸƒπŸ½ Running on the beach must have been quite a challenge but makes it an even greater achievement (I’m guessing it felt even further than it was?!) Fab photo too!πŸ™‚

Thanks Sandie1961 I nearly turned over an ankle on a seaweed-covered rock which was very slippery, but fortunately I recovered my balance in timeπŸ‘
