Cancun, Mexico 7:45 am 5.01 miles
Pace: 8:03 Felt really bad starting out again, but held on until I turned around at 2.5 miles and then started breathing a lot better and running stronger, finishing at a decent pace. Hopefully this means that I'm finally starting to shake this cold. The best part of the run was the end, when I showered off at the beach showers and took a dip in the pool.
1:00 pm
3.03 miles Pace: 9:41 Weather was kind of bad today, so we left the beach in late morning. After lunch I decided to go for a short run barefoot on the beach. It was fun, but challenging. Running in the sand is difficult and I had a head-wind. When I turned around and the wind was at my back, it was easier to run, but I then realized that the head-wind was the only thing keeping me cool. The worst part was that the sand here isn't as pure as on some of the beaches I've been to in Hawaii and the Virgin Islands. There are a lot of small shells and shell fragments. Apparently I stepped on one and my right big toe is now sore with a red spot on it. I'll find out tomorrow morning if it will affect my running the rest of the week.
