Wow, your parents are very fortunate....Hi Annilee! Wow, your parents are very fortunate... what a beautiful place in the world to spend time and R&R. We talked to many people who visited Sayulita from places just 'outside' that were doing day trips because they thought Sayulita was too tourisy/expensive. We spent a lot of time cooking at our house and lived a very simple life while we were there so that didn't impact us so much. Plus our main goal was to avoid big resorts, so we thought it was a good balance. But perhaps, if you wouldn't mind, you could give me more info on the town your parents go to. It sounds even more low key.<br /><br />As far as running down there goes, I don't recommend one surface to the other and both have risks to potential injury if you're body isn't used to running on terrain like that. The sand stresses all sorts of tiny little muscles in the feet and peroneals and due to the instable surface/slidding around can wear down your body over time. <br /><br />As far as the roads go, unless you run road regularily, the 'roads' down there are either concrete rocks which are uneven and hard. The dirt roads I found were just as hard too, likely due to the heavy rainfall seasons. So the pouding on these surfaces travels all the way up the body. <br /><br />So I think it is just important to be mindful of not overdoing it and listening to you body when you train on surfaces that your body is not used to. Plus, making time for a proper post run recovery session including a good stretch, self massage and cerveza ;)<br /><br />Miss you Annilee and I always LOVE hearing from you. Would love to grab a coffee next time you're in Kelowna. xoRene Unserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048209955562971338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433423110689194676.post-59222142328791351192013-02-28T21:11:34.288-08:002013-02-28T21:11:34.288-08:00Rene!

Do you recommend running on the harder than concrete, uneven dirt roads instead of somewhat squishy and uneven sand? Again, you continue to be my hero for making running a priority, even while on vacation with your family. :) <br />xo<br />AnnileeAnnileenoreply@blogger.com
