8K Beach Running

#22 – 50 runs in 10t0 days – Summer edition

Our journey continued, being on the road today and when we finally arrived at the hotel I had to head out for a run.

I have been wanting to run on the beach but have not done this yet so tonite I did something very different

Headed towards the beach but turned then left on a road where it ended and I headed out on narrow paths towards the beach

Then I headed up on a hill and saw this view

And then it was time to head down to the beach and decided to run to the left til I had reached 2K

But I had to try to run up on a dune and I can say with regular running shoes is no piece of cake, I had to walk up. I got down on the beach but saw another path with smaller stones that I had to try and got down to a car road and then headed back

Got back on the beach and when I had reached 4K I had to run 1.5K to the right til I headed back. There were a lot of ”kite surfers” except that they were up in the air.

Tough to run on the sand but it was better closer to the water but from time to time I was chased by the waves 🙂
