What those Esplanade joggers should do

The waning curve of the beach stretched ahead of me. The distant sky, the waves, the deserted beach and me. ...

I don't jog, but given the choice between trying to run on unshoveled and unsalted sidewalks and streets in my neighborhood and hopping in the car to find a safe place to run, I'd choose the latter.
