BELIZE RUN

Two hours by fast boat north of Belize City, VERY cool island run.

Many beach properties here connected by dirt road, idyllic scenery, beautiful weather about 30 degsC.

10kms out and back- flat, kinda humid.

Hydrate afterwards with Corona(s)

Recent Root Run in Haines, Alaska

From Haines, Alaska, left from the port, the road becomes quickly gravel and after about 4km enters a forest area, characterized by exposed roots along the trail, making the run tricky with danger of the old face-plant. Turnaround on a pebbly beach at about 6km out and then back through the forest to the pleasant town of Haines. Cool!

Great in summer- July.

The story so far...

In 1977, as a two pack a day smoker, I began running to kick the habit. I had always been athletic as a child and teenager so it was a natural progression. Since then my work as a musician has taken me to many countries. I am on average a 200km a month runner give or take a mile or two, and have run 7 marathons of which I have completed 5 - being 2 in France and 3 in South Africa. So I'm pretty much Mr. Average Jogger. So far, I've been mostly injury free except for the usual aches and pains.

Working at sea over the last few years, I use my daily jog to explore the towns, cities, villages and sometimes just jungle along the way. I will try to share my experiences, top runs, not-so-top runs, aches and pains, good gear, bad gear- in other words what works for me and what doesn't!
