I was crazy stoked yesterday for finally returning to my favorite thing every morning after about 2 days of not doing it.  Running on the beach has been a daily thing for me for the past 4 months and today was no different… Until I got there that is.  It was like a barren waste land as soon as I arrived on the sandy shores.  Hardly anyone was there.  Actually I think I was the only one stupid enough to hang out on the shore.  There are about 4-5 people on the pier trying to catch some fish but I was the only one on the whole beach chillin’ at the sand.  My attempt to run was deeply questioned by my sanity while my heart and humor wants me to go since it the fact that I’m there actually makes me laugh out loud and made me feel happy.  Crazy how I actually did it… but it didn’t last that long.  I ran about half a mile then went back.  It was too crazy.  I’m no match with 40mph gust of wind sand blasting my leg on every single step I take.  I ended up standing under the pier with my back on one of the beams that supports it and hanging out there for about an hour doing nothing and just staring out on the ocean begging it to do more.  It was just me against the elements I suppose but I had so much fun doing it.  Just hanging out, not a care in the world, and sand flying everywhere.  Amazing sight.  Good thing I have my trusty iPhone to take some shots with and a quick video to show how dope it was.  Yeah I know I’m an idiot.

Took this the other day before my run. Inspiring somehow.

Shot this with my iPhone last Monday. Quite a good day actually. Low tide, not too hot or cold, just a great condition for running. I actually broke my personal best of 6 miles 51 minutes that day and later beat those each consecutive days. This morning I actually did 47 mins. Not bad considering I took a week long break for sema.

Did some editing via the iPhone and here’s what I came up with… pretty cool right?  Can’t believe you can do all this in a phone.
