Got an early start. Plan was to head east and get picked up at the far end of the state park at 9:30am. Good running weather other than it was very humid. Stayed on bike path past downtown. Took in a Chocolate Almond Clif Bar at the lighthouse and refilled my water bottle.
I was getting hot so took off my shirt hoping that the westerly wind at my back would cool me more. Run got really nice once I entered the park. Ocean and beach on the right and the bay on my left. Nice breeze. Good cloud cover. Lots of fisherman heading to the boat launch or the boardwalks. At 9:10am, Hit 13.1 miles at the Sugar Hill Beach Area (end of pavement). There was water there and shade so I called it a day. I had a Powerbar Protein Bar in my waist pack. I took two bites and couldn't eat any more. Gross. I'm done with any powerbar product - the bars, gels, now this. yuck. I'm a loyal Gu person for gels. I like the clif bars and their newer shots. For races, I've stuck with Gu so far.
Today is our last day at the beach. Long drive home tomorrow. |
