...on a vacation for a few days, I imagine I will have the time to commit to getting into shape.
Using my own photo to illustrate the article.
Yup, I took this one at Nessebar Beach on the first day of my one-week vacation. I totally support activity and I am actually quite used to jogging long distances. Even now I could do it for an hour without a pause. Despite the fact I haven't in probably a month and before that two occasions, for another couple of months at least. My problem? I cannot seem to find the time. And energy. I requie Psy, I need to build more pylons.
If only they gave time. Because time is there but it is the most limited resource, ever. And I have other priorities. Like taking photos and drawing, writing the end of my story for the upcoming @steemfiction volume, driving, fetching things...So time on the beach I spent not running but...
Swimming
Unfortunately, this year I was not prepared to show you that. My underwater photos case was left behind for logistic reasons. And also...not being able to photograph underwater, actually gave me the freedom of mind and the time to quality swim. Most of it was a routine, just to substitute for other activities, but the day before the last...I found myself in awesome waters. I wish I could at least paint it for you. Maybe someday I'll try.
Just a week later, I miss swimming immensely. I want to be able to do it all year round. In the sea, not pools, controlled by other people. Although I would pool swim, too.
Who knows, maybe next week I have the chance to try and swim in nature again. Holding my fingers crossed for good weather and finding good beaches on those islands I will be telling you about when I return.
Meanwhile, I have a question for beach joggers.
I actually did try running for a few minutes while going somewhere with my lightweight camera. But the angle of the beach is often towards the sea, too steeply for my ankles, it seems. I got pains because of running on a sloped to one side surface. I am not troubled by pain but by the possibility of trauma. Even one foot in front of the other does not really work for me. So I decided to avoid it, altogether. Otherwise, it looks like a cool thing to do. And here is my question:
How do you avoid trauma and still run on a beach like that?
Peace!
