Mexico City Day 2

Greetings!  Day two of running in Mexico City went much better. I ran along Paseo de la Reforma, the longest street in town. The sidewalks still presented a number of problems, however the large divided roadway was well lit which allowed for enjoyment of the surroundings. The road took me past museums and the very big and very nice Chapultepec Park.  Other people seemed to know this road made for a better route. I encountered a number of folks out for a morning jog at 5:00AM.

The morning was a little cooler than the previous one. I might have worn gloves had I ventured outside prior to running. Many of the other runners had on long sleeves, pants and a few had hats. I think most of my friends from the American South would have found the temperature quite pleasing.

Like any mega city, construction and traffic remained constant through most hours of the day and night. Many businesses touted signs noting round the clock service. Given the high number of people out at any given time, Shannan and I felt comfortable walking to dinner and others destinations, and I had no concerns exercising before the light of day. Today, caused me to rethink my previous, and a bit more critical post on running in Mexico City.

Run around the world!
