I love the sound of the ocean when it anticipates a storm. It roars like a beast wanting to be let out. The seagulls disappear and the dolphins don’t dare come close to the edge. As it crashes on the shores, it rumbles and rolls disrupting the sand. On days like this it’s usually cloudy, even rainy. Today is also cold and windy.
Fighting the wind in our run this morning will be the toughest part of our journey. A journey I don’t want to talk about until it’s done. I want to get out there and do my best today to get it done. I spent most of last night tossing and turning because of a horrendous pain in my right leg. So I’m not sure what to expect from going out running today. I’ll get back to this after it!

Part 2:
Ok, the run was good. It drizzled the whole 6 miles, with the occasional burst of rain. Hat on, hat off, jacket on, jacket off, too. We did a 30/30 second split that worked out pretty good. Towards the end my leg hamstring kept wanting to cramp. Thanks to the 30/30 split it never fully did. Running on the road is harder on the joints, but it was better because we didn’t have to fight the wind as we did yesterday. Also, only one coughing fit vs 4-5 yesterday. Will be good when I can completely shake this cold off.
All in all, an uneventful 12-mile weekend.
