This Saturday's run was in Encinitas, although a very different area than the last time we ran here. We met up a little park right on the beach. This was a special day in that the team was challenged to all wear our white TNT (Team In Training) shirts. If there were any that didn't their coaches would have to accept the "punishment". Well, it seems that we were the first team ever to all wear them, so the 2 head coaches had this wonderful purple hair coloring applied to their heads and had to run with very purple hair! It was quite a site!
Our run took us past some amazing beach homes, many of which were for sale. So Mike & I house shopped (wished) while we ran. Then we came along the PCH for a bit until we turned around at a camp ground - we ran through that on the way back instead of the road, just for some thing different, then it was back by our homes again. Once we got back to the park, Coach Ken had suggested that we all go for a waist deep dip in the ocean. It apparently is a great way to recover after a long run - the waves moving back & forth over your muscles, the salt water to help replenish your sodium and of course the cool temperature to help sooth the legs & feet. It really was nice, but reminded me of swimming in Maine when I was a girl. I used to come out of the water in July with my lips and fingers blue! The picture above is of the shells I discovered while out in the water.
Mike & I both agreed that so far this was both our favorite and our best run to date.
