Running along the Oregon Coast

Posted on July 26, 2010

I’m here at the Oregon coast with my wife’s family. Really nice here… not like a beach I’m used to but still really pretty in its own way. Have really been enjoying my runs in the mornings. It’s pretty awesome to just strap on the shoes and head out, not really knowing where you’re going. I even saw a few deer the other morning.

At home, I have a couple of set routes I go on, but here, I just run out for a while and then head home. This morning I went just under 30 minutes out and then turned back. I picked a road –turns out it was quite the hilly road– and just went. I was able to catch stunning views of the coast occasionally through the fog.

Do you ever try new routes when you walk, run or bike? Try it sometime… you never know what you might find.
