Beach vs. Strand Running

Today I tried running along the water at the beach instead of on the Strand. I came up with a list of pros and cons. :)

Pros of Beach Running:

• Hearing the waves crash loudly
• Having a better view of the ships passing by
• Watching the cute little birds braving the surf and then scurrying away from the waves when it comes in with their fast little legs
• It's better on my shins and feet

Cons of Beach Running:

• Less people watching available
• The run isn't as smooth on the sand
• I can't take in the views of the houses along the Strand from so far away
• Sand in my shoes
• Having to run by the seagull brigade....thankfully they didn't drop a bomb on me!
