Marathon distance in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico


What a magnificent run in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It was brutally hot despite the fact that it was rather overcast. I guess the humidity makes it feel warmer than it actually is. At least I brought sufficient water to cover the 26.2 mile or 42.2 km run. From the ship's terminal, you head towards to the old town in 'PV' as we say, from there on you hop on the boulevard which is supercool but rather crowded which you can see in the video; I almost ran into some pedestrians but OK, it's a very cool area to run. Leaving the boulevard after about 2 miles, you head up uphill via the main road. Some part of the course is rather steep making it tough to run in this heat but whatever, no pain no bloody gain...it is what it is. After about 8 miles you run on the road overlooking the ocean and the view is stunning. 

At mile mark 13.1 you turn around and do it all over again till you reach the ship's terminal.
