chilly beach walk
Nov 08 2009 08:46

Last week I did the 66th 5K in 39:21 on Sunday, and the 67th yesterday (in 38:27)  Both were very hard, probably because I only managed one 20-minute session on the elliptical in between.  I must get back to midweek runs (or at least some gym time!)  This week that will not be an issue since we have Wednesday off for Veteran's Day (awesome!)  It will be interesting having a day off smack in the middle of the week.

This morning I decided to go see the beach since I haven't been down there in weeks.  I got there just minutes after sunrise; it's impressive how far South the sun's position has shifted.  It was low tide; there were clouds and a lot of wind.  All of the turtle nests are gone; I need to find out how many hatched this year.  There were a couple of surfers in wet suits who didn't seem to be doing very well in the rough surf.The water was so cold it made my toes numb; that water won't support any hurricanes, but we might get the system out of the Gulf of Mexico later on in the week.  We need the rain, so I hope we do.
