5.2 miles today, no goal. Well, the goal was stress relief, and I accomplished that, it seems. Sometimes running is like hitting myself in the head with a hammer: it feels so good when I stop.

Note to self: I'm not training for a tri or anything, it's perfectly okay to scale back to maintenance running one or two days a week while I'm trying to get more cycling miles in ahead of TOSRV.

Today's theme on the beach: if I'd seen the looks of that storm front before I left the house, I'd probably have stayed home! But there wasn't any lightning (yet) and it didn't seem to be bothering anyone else - warm Sunday and last day of Spring Break for many. The wind was stiff but mostly a crosswind, and it didn't even start raining until inside my last mile, which actually felt good.
