The only disadvantage of running to the supermarket was that I needed to run along the local road, which already at this time of the day had some traffic, and furthermore I had to run on the hard asphalt instead of the soft sand on the beach. I swiftly considered if I could run part of the distance along the beach, but I did not know if there was a side street leading from the beach to the supermarket, so I kept to the main road.
