Beach Running

I had to come to Florida for the weekend for a funeral.  However, I was able to get in my requirements this morning before I got busy for the rest of the day.  I used the fitness center on site for everything but the run, which I did in the sand on the beach.  If you've never run on the sand, you'll appreciate running on a hard surface a lot more when you're finished. Running on sand makes your body work harder because every step sinks and steals energy you'd normally not lose when running on the track or a treadmill. Now that I've gotten that out of my system, I'm think I'm going back to running on a hard surface.
