My favorite thing about my new half-time hometown, Virginia Beach? The fact that after just about a minute of slow running from my front door, I reach this view:
I enjoy that view for the rest of my run, about three miles out and back on (mostly) hard-pack sand. I stop and stretch here before running the minute and a half home:

It funny. I seldom think about my hometown, Wilmington NC. But when I see photos like this, I get so homesick. I love the smell of the ocean in the morning. I love the fishermen who don’t even realize what they are really doing is meditating. I love the feel of the sand between my toes…. Now see what you did.
I clearly missed a chapter here…when did you move to VA Beach?
Splitting my time between DC and VA Beach for a while thanks to hub’s job … the above vistas make the commute totally worth it. 🙂
Yes, I’m very curious about your fancy traveling lifestyle as well. And jealous because your pictures for the past 2 weeks have either been gorgeous beach or gorgeous skiing.
Lovely! You’re always so good at appreciating whatever is before you, such a great trait.
I know you know, but be careful about ITBS running on the beach.
lucky!!!
Gorgeous! I love that your time is split at the beach and also plenty of time on the slopes. Makes for great pictures!
Gorgeous!
