Finally the rain has stopped and the sun is shining. Went for a 6mile run down to the beach, about 3 miles of pavement and 3 miles of sand. The sand was still a little wet from all the rain we have had, which made it a bit easier. I love running on the beach, no need for an iPod, just the sound of the waves and the birds, besides, I want to be able to hear when a truck is coming up behind me. For anyone that doesn't live here, Texas beaches are considered public highways, and sometimes the drivers just don't look where they are going. I just wish I could get over my fear of dogs. I am ok if I can see that there is a person with the dog, but running past a dog just seems like I am asking it to chase me. Anyway, I am trying to get in shape for the beach leg of the Beach to Bay relay marathon in May. There is also a 5k/10k Beach Dash on the 27th. I would have signed up already if they had online registration. Has anybody seen my checkbook? How much is a stamp these days anyway?
