Here is where I run 5 miles a day! The beach approach is only half a mile away from our front door! The other day when the tide was out I saw a white baby seal on the shore. I walked right up to it and it didn't even move...just looked at me innocently...very adorable! I guess I should bring my camera with me next time. (You always see neat things on the beach) Running on the beach is such a great stress relief and is very relaxing...well, except when hott guys come running up beside you and offer you a "cool refreshment". That can be more of a distraction than anything...a good one though! ;)
