Gloriously, the beach workouts continued. Tuesday was not a "beach day" but it was still nice to run in cooler weather. The bay was actually all fogged up - I could not see the tall condos off the beach nor were there many people out. In fact, I could only really see about 30 yards ahead of me. I also didn't figure the tide into my run - it was close to high tide and there was not much beach left. I had to run on the soft-firm area between the harder sand and the fluffy sand - a mixed bag of firmness if you will. Kind of hard to describe, and kind of hard to run on...I was playing dodge the waves quite a bit. Definitely got my shoes wet a few times, but it also made for an exciting run. Because of the not-so-solid ground, I was a bit behind pace - about 5 miles in 56 minutes.
For my cross-training on Wednesday, I was supposed to go about 30 minutes. I borrowed my cousin's bike, found a nice circular route near our condo (see below) and headed off. I did not realize how hilly it would be...it took me almost an hour to finish the 10 miles. My Dad was actually about to drive around looking for me because I took so long. :) There were a few hair-raising moments - not really that dramatic, just not super bike-friendly. My quads were definitely burning...a sure sign of a good workout. At least, it was very scenic.
