Gotta get back into running...

The week before I left the states, I had really gotten into running. And I have been doing it here, but rather sparingly. I need to get back into the habit.

I run from our house, down the hill towards the ocean. I run along Av. España towards Viña del Mar. Usually I run for about 25 - 30 minutes until I reach the Sheraton at the end of Av. Alvares in Viña and run back. Today I needed to do a long run, so I continued past the Sheraton on Av. Marina and into Vina. I got to about 6 Norte when I turned around and headed back. In Vina, the route was a lot nicer because the street along side was much smaller. In all, my run took about an hour and 25 minutes.

Although getting beeped at and getting various comments is very common, I still like this route. Alongside the ocean, I can always stop to take a look. Running here is also good because I only need to cross two streets the entire time. I can't wait to run further to Renaca and maybe ConCon....
