Sea Breeze

Week three, a little late... this time I actually am a bit closer to Philly. I overshot it by a few states though. I ran back that direction for seven miles along the coast on Saturday, which was fantastic. I don't know if it was the sea air or (slightly) cooler temperature, or just some new scenery, but that run was definitely the highlight of the week. I hope to repeat it again before heading back home. When I had to turn around, I was a little disappointed that it wasn't a longer run, but then by the time I made it back it felt just about right.

The lowlight... Monday morning. I did get out and do my run early, but I seem to have been following the same formula as last summer, which is not a good one. It included a few mid-run walks and lots of sweat... mild digestive issues... lots of wondering if I'd be better off staying in bed. That sort of thing. But I slogged through it. They can't all be winners.

Next week (really, this week), maybe I'll repeat Saturday's run before I leave. It is nice to be on vacation.
