a red flag morning

Woke up a bit late for a run on the beach. Usually around 8 it is already pretty hot out, but not today. It was however, VERY humid and VERY windy. I got to the beach and saw the red flag up already. I ran on the beach monday and the water was so calm, it was like a lake! Complete opposite today. The sky was dark, the ocean was rough and I could see the rain far off in the distance. I took dad's advice and ran with my shoes off. I loved feeling the sand between my toes as I ran right on the edge of the water, and loved when the waves crashed under my feet. The water was so warm and refreshing! And as strange as it sounds, the salty, humid, ocean air was also very refreshing as I ran! As I finished I sat down and just stared out into the never ending ocean, and down both sides of the beach and thought to myself, how amazing it is, for even when its not a beautiful sunny day, it still feels like paradise! This is my home, and I LOVE it!
