Get Ready. Gear Up. Lately I’ve grown a little tired of the same old seawall run and all the trials and tribulations that come with it. You know the one: At every corner you’re avoiding some careless dog owner who’s allowed 20 feet of leash to be stretched out across the path, which will inevitably trip the sketchy muscle man going way too fast for his own good in his new inline skates.
