It's a good thing I posted here earlier or I don't think I'd have been able to drag myself out

No particular objective today other than to just get my feet back running. Junk miles, if you will

Just over 5 miles in a stiff wind. NWS data calls it 17 steady gusting to 33, but I swear it's always windier directly on the beach than at the airport two miles inland. My downwind return leg was fun, though

Most bizarre thing I've seen on the beach in a long time: tracks from someone's spike-heeled, pointy-toed pumps. Out and back, two-thirds of a mile each way (I had to know!). The heel holes were at least an inch deep. I wish I'd seen the person walking in them!

Also four strapping young Beach Patrol guys helping dig out a large-ish motor home that was stuck in the sand. What were they thinking?

Cloudy and a light mist, not too many people out. It started to rain just as I finished my walking cool-down. Perfect timing
