Grayland State Park, WA. 9:00 a.m. Camping at a new beach with Nicks family. I decided to run today on the beach. The beach was only about 5 min. away from our campsite. I walked in my flip flops from the campsite to the beach. I left my sandles in the sand at the beach and ran from the bluff entrance to the ocean. Then I ran along the water for about 1.5 miles. Going back I wanted to set a challenge so I ran in some deep soft sand for 1/2 mile. Boy, was that challenging! I had to force myself to keep on running even though it was so tiring! What a work out! The distance I did in the deep sand was so hard! Then I ran the last 1/2 mile between the deep sand and right in the water, wet/dry sand like-more firm. Also some of the time was running up toward the bluff trying to find the exact area I entered the beach. They all looked the same! I could tell it was a bit harder on the feet running on the beach but proud of my accomplishment. However, that day and 1-2 days after the run my calves hurt so bad! I could barely walk!!!
