I try to run in the most interesting places possible. Dirt roads of Kenya, hills of Ireland or in this case the shoreline of Mexico. In summer of 2010 Tracy and I went back to one of our favorite areas, the Mayan Riviera coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. I planned this run along a deserted section of coast well before the trip but waited until our last day to try it and as luck would have it, I ended up running in a torrential rain...which explains the blurry lens photos that follow.

| I found the footing to be a bit of an issue in this section. |
 |
| This run wins the award for most varied terrain in a single 5 mile run ever. |
 |
| Finally the trail appears complete with abandoned flip flop. |
 |
| It was hard not to stop and take pictures every 2 minutes...although still photos miss the intensity of storm waves crashing in. |
 |
| I don't think I want to know what this road was used for, but I appreciated its existence. |
 |
| Thank you to Tracy for letting me borrow her waterproof digital camera. |

| I don't know why but this picture seemed entirely necessary after a Mexican run in the rain. Click here to see a map of my run. Zoom out for a sense of where in the world I was getting wet and trying to avoid sprained ankles. |
