North Myrtle Beach Run

This is my first recorded run on a beach. It was a lot of fun running up and down the beach on a hot day. Ran barefoot and enjoyed every minute of it. A few other runners had the same idea. Ran at a conversational pace to get in a moderate workout while enjoying the beauty of the shoreline. Awesome!
