day 80 - No walk

Yesterday I got in the car for a walk and we got down to the beach, got all ready and ended up back in the car in less then 2 minutes.  The wind was blowing so hard that I was eating sand before I even got on the sand, and for those of you who don't walk on the beach a lot that is not the norm.  Even on normal windy days I never eat sand.

I got home and looked up the wind speed and it said 10-20 mph - I knew that couldn't be right so I found real time, and they were say 26 mph with gusts up to 50 miles.  I think it was more in the 30 or 40 than the 20's as it was buffeting my body all around.

But the wind surfers were out in force and it was amazing to watch them catch a breeze and take off - flying up over the ocean wave.  Amazing.  I have always said if they had this sport when I was younger this is what I would have done.  And the arm strength that must take.  Ahh to be 20 years younger...

So we came home without a walk and Darling T just couldn't shut up all afternoon.  I think she was punishing me for taking her out and then not letting her stay.  You don't always get what you want.

So today I am walking with one of my group people that should be verry interesting...
