Last night I went to the hotel gym for about 30 minutes just to stretch out, I could feel my hip. It didn't hurt, but the fact that I could feel it made me think I needed to switch things up today. Went to the gym and did 4 elliptical miles and then decided to try out barefoot beach running again. Dropped my shirt and shoes off at a pool side table and hit the beach, started out just barely light, probably one of the coolest running experiences ever, running along the shoreline all alone on a beach that goes as far as the eye can see. Don't under estimate the workout you get from running barefoot in sand with waves knocking your legs every few seconds, it's like hill climbs X 10. It started to rain really hard but that just added to the ambiance, I was already soaking wet from the waves splashing on me so a nice cool rain felt really nice. Ran 2 miles out and then turned around.
I don't understand why I only get a blister on one of my toes doing this. My right middle toe had a huge blister on top of the huge blister I got last Saturday from beach running. I wasn't going to pop it but at closer examination I noticed it was completely full of sand, pretty weird. So I popped it put a bandaid on and now off to another busy day of work. Can't say I'm ready for this conference to be over, as much as I like running in Central park I doubt it can beat this place. I'm coming back here in November again for a different conference so I have that to look forward to.
2 miles, to and from Dolphin stadium for the U2 concert.
