Repeated yesterday´s 7-8 miler along the boardwalk, then climbing uphill for 2-3 miles to a beautiful point overlooking the Mediteranean in Benicasim, Spain.

6 Miles en la playa en Benicasim. Barefoot and easy along the hard-packed sand close to the water´s edge. Pressed a little harder on Mile 6 for a 7:15-7:30 to finish strong.

So, my wife´s Granmother, Wita, has been holding out on me...
Yesterday afternoon over a glass of vino tinto, she tells me about camino verde, a trail system just outside of Benicassim that weaves through the mountainous coast, past medieval, Spanish remnants, offering some amazing views of the Mediterranean Sea along the way.
I ran approximately 9 Miles, in 63 minutes, for a 7:00/mile pace. Got up and out the door early this morning, and the cool weather, sunrise, and beautiful imagery made this run one to remember.
Looking forward to a day at the beach with the family.

Yesterday´s morning run was too good to only do once...
9 Miles at MP or faster on a beautiful morning in Benicasim, Spain. About 1.5 Miles from apartment to trailhead for Camino Verde, and once there, I ran the a 10K out-and-back along the trail in 40 minutes. 1.5 Miles a little slower back along the boardwalk to the apartment, but overall, I ran strong today and very much enjoyed myself.

At approximately the 4km mark on the out-and-back 10k trail (Camino Verde) I´ve run a couple times here in Benicasim, I took a detour and hike-jogged up the side of a cliff on a rocky, single track trail with switch backs all the way up for about a mile. It was a lot of fun , and the continued, unseasonably cool mornings have made all of my runs over the last week even more enjoyable.
Picked up the pace for 2 Miles at 6:30/mile after descending and returning to the Camino Verde for a very satisfying 8 Miles.
Pleased to hit 40 Miles for the week given the amount of pastries, paella, mojitos, amstel, and vino I´ve consumed the last few days.
Kids continue to have a blast.
On a final note, I would be remiss if I did not express how blessed (and just damn lucky) I feel today to be celebrating my 6th Anniversary. My lovely wife, Isabel, is the best thing that ever happened to me, and she and our babies make my life a joy every single day, whether we´re lounging on the beach in Spain or simply watching TV back home in Arkansas. If you see this, babe, Happy Anniversary. I love you.
