Hermosa 24 Hour Run - 6-30-2012
Hermosa Beach California
Hermosa
Beach 24 Hour Run was challenging! The
course was a 3.36 loop that started at Hermosa Pier to Manhattan Pier and
back. The weather was clear blue skies,
over 70 degrees with a nice ocean breeze.
The race started at noon and my goal was to finish 10 loops for a total
of 33 miles. Running in the soft sand
gave me an entire body workout. The
hardest part was to maintain a pace. I
have the endurance but running (power walking) took a lot of stamina. My first loop I wore my green GoRuns and half
way through the loop my shoes filled with sand.
My second loop I wore regular socks and my socks filled with sand. My next loop I wore a pair of New Balance
shoes and they filled with sand also.
Finally I tried my pink compressor socks and they worked wonderful! I saw lots of runners wearing sand socks but
I got mixed reviews. My feet are fine and I finished 8 loops
for a total of 26.44 miles in 11:53:46.
I was in good company with the beautiful Jay and fabulous Mieko!
I got to
meet a friend in common Tatsunori from Philadelphia and he came in second place with
73 miles!
Really Inspirational Article, Continuously 24 hours running is really challenging Work. Great Job! Glad to know that you completed it. God Bless You!
