I love going for runs on the beach. It’s more challenging with your feet sinking in the sand. But, with each motions of my legs and feet I imagine the awakening, and working, of all of the different muscles I don’t typically use. Yesterday was the first time I’ve run longer than a mile, in several months. However, being in shape from all of the cardio classes, gave me an overwhelming sense of power. I felt stronger than I’ve felt any other year I’ve gone for a run at the beach, and it was sensational!

As I ran I let my mind wander. People watching can certainly help you do that. I made up a new game and for each person I saw I thought of someone in my life that they reminded me of. It was a great way to conjure up some really old memories. A wonderful reflection on life so far.

I thought I would create a playlist. Some of songs may conjure up some sweet memories. Let your mind take you somewhere else… This is for you guys to help you get lost in the empowerment of your movement:
