"A mile sounds fine!"<em>Good morning to you too,</em>Beth thought as Sean wasted no time kicking it in gear then simply smiled and followed suit. He was being very kind in the pace he set, she suspected, but was glad not to have too much difficulty keeping up. The sand did pull at her feet a bit and while she didn't think it would make a difference at a mile, she suspected longer distances might  be more tiring but it was well worth it to be out in the breeze and the early morning sun with the sound of the ocean in your ears.  She ran abreast of him but was otherwise silent until they were on the second half of their workout.<br/><br/>"I think I might be good for more than a mile if you like," she said, a little breathless but not wholly out of breath. Clearly she looked the way she did because she was in good shape. "I still feel like someone's going to come and tap me on the shoulder and tell me they've made a mistake. If I keep running it'll be harder for them to catch me!"<br/><br/>She glanced over at him with a smile and decided she was determined to kiss him today, whether he liked it or not.<br/>
