Day 29 - Ocean Beach

Well when I finished trying to work I gathered T up and decided it was off for our walk and dang nab it I was going to do four miles if it killed me.  So I thought we would do Golden Gate Park because it is all up hill out and all down hill back so I grabbed my I-Touch and headed for the door only to find that my I-Touch was dead.  Battery all used up, no BOT while I walked - no Golden Gate Park.  So it was off to the beach.  The surf is so loud even with my noise cancelling earphones (which I have to say are truly spectacular) I can't hear my I-Touch so it is the one place I walk without it.

As I have said before walking on the beach is like walking in heaven or what I would expect heaven to look like.    It is the most wonderful experience one can possible have.  It beats mountains, plains, deserts and forests hands down.  Go to the beach if you really want to commune with nature and be a part of it.

So I wasn't really in the mood to walk to tell the truth, and I really didn't think without my BOT I was going to do four miles, but once we were walking along we both got a bit of a bounce in our step and we just kept going and going and going until we ran out of beach which low and behold was 2 miles.  The first mile was very easy - felt on top of the world, by the time we hit the 2 mile mark I was tired, but thought I could go another half mile and maybe even mile and make it back, but I was pleased with what we had done so we turned around and bam  we were walking into gale winds (maybe a little exaggeration but not much.)

By the time I got to the car I was almost crawling, and I didn't feel like the Ocean was my friend anymore.  Next time maybe I should start the other way.
