Default Myrtle Beach

I spent last night in Myrtle Beach SC on the beach. Had a great time enough if it was for work! lol
I have always enjoyed the beach and alsways dreamed of being fit to run on the beach. (and no not the "Baywatch" kinda running! ) Well...last night I gave it a try! I ran on the beach, now it was actually a jog but I did run.

Here is the self pic I took after my little victory! No laughing at the crappy photo job my Balckberry did and the wild red eye but I was very excited!

Paula,

Did a shark scare you? Those are some WIDE eyes girl!

That's awesome! I love Myrtle Beach. I especially love North Myrtle where the Intracoastal Waterway comes in. The tide goes WAY out!
