Running toward summer...June runs

[Jolt]

I thought we needed a new thread! Yesterday I did a 5K rail trail race in my new town, time was 27:54 putting me about in the middle of the pack as usual. Found out about a weekly group run that I might check out (although it sounds like it might be a bunch of speed demons where I will be the straggler). Today's run was about a half hour on the beach...would have been longer but I forgot to check the tide chart and, Murphy's law, got there right at high tide and had to turn around after 15 minutes because I got to a stretch where the whole beach was underwater and there was no convenient way around it. After my run I decided to go in the water...it was COLD, I stayed in about five minutes, and a guy on the beach commented that he couldn't believe I did that . It took a while to warm up...next time I will bring a thermos of hot tea to drink after doing shenanigans like that.

ETA: Just looked up the water temp at Wells Beach for today and it is 50 degrees according to surfline.com--yikes!
