The loneliness of the long distance runner

Last night we were out at photo club and at lunch time today I have been out for lunch with some friends as it was a friends birthday, so I haven't been able to catch up much with 365. Hopefully will get chance tonight.

On the way home from lunch I called in at Birubi Beach and saw this lone runner with the beach almost to herself.

This particular beach goes all the way from Anna Bay to Stockton in Newcastle. I am not sure how far this lady had travelled though.

@happypat It is a very popular beach with surfers and runners. people here dont tend to sit on the beach though. I took this photo from the flat roof of the surf club cafe. A lovely place to eat and very popular even like now in the middle of winter

We have lots of super beaches close to where I live, but this beach, called Birubi, at Anna Bay is my favourite. There is always something different to see there.
