Woke up to overcast skies today, thank the gods, and a temp of *only* 74.5, so decided to go for my longest beach run of 2012 today -- 4.6 miles. I had managed this distance once in December before I caught the cold and cough from hell, and have just now finally worked back up to it. On sunny, hot mornings, I will probably still cut back to 3-4 miles, but whenever we do get the rare overcast and slightly cooler morning, it's good to take advantage!

It wasn't pretty (i.e., I was slow and had to blow my runny nose a lot -- not from a cold, just exercise-induced rhinitis), but I did it!
