Early Morning Run In Maine

I start out running along the beach before heading up the hill.........

I loved loved loved  my run this morning in Maine.  I think I had a smile on my face the whole time.  Was it a kick ass run where I astounded the locals with my speed?  Nah it was all about the setting. I could hear the waves, smell the ocean, see the ocean and once again the temps were great!  The sand was hard packed and great to run on. But rather than tell you the whole story I am going to show you some pictures!

to my favorite lighthouse. Once there I look back to the beach

and in all directions 

including at the lighthouse of course

before heading back down to encounter

a Maine Valentine tree???

I pause to fool with my self timer

before getting back to the beach and heading down the steps

which were in much better shape than last year (above and below)

when I slipped and fell and hurt myself rather severely

there was still ice this year which I always find very cool

no pun intended

a little more playing with the self timer, a lot more smiling

and I was back at the hotel ready to continue on with my day.

Maine........the way life should be!!
