My Road Runs in Mauritius

I ran 6 times while I was in Mauritius. Two times were on the road and the other on the beach/rocks/trail. It was extremely hot and extremely humid. If you want to run properly there, run before 6 AM.

 I did some incredible exploring while on my runs and used the time more for the explore part rather than for training...bad runner!

 Here are some photos from my road runs...

 The roads between the villas are narrow and generally a lot smaller than what I am used to here in SA.

Lots of coconut trees.




There are numerous building styles. Some modern and some not so modern...:)






Roads like these were incredibly hot! I was permanently soaked!






I cooled off in this pool immediately after each run. Heaven!


Next post I'll share my off-road runs.

 Happy training everyone!

    It is 20 below zero in Kansas City this morning (at least with windchills)...really about 1 degree! And I'm looking at a post about you on the beach where it's hot and humid. I would take that over this any day! So jealous!

    Oh how beautiful! I'm with Michael though...man is it cold here!!

    I'm all about exploring while training. Yes, it takes away a lot of the intensity, but it sure adds to the experience. :)

    I'm impressed you ran on vacation, and in the hot weather.... Looks like a nice place/trip and the pool looks delightful.

    No better way to explore a place than on a run. Looks like you had some great ones!

    I agree with Misszippy - running is the best way to explore a holiday destination. Thank goodness for the pool at the end of those runs.

    I could handle running in a scenic sauna like that if I had a swimming pool to equal the one in your photo!
    Looks like you had some great adventures:)

    I don't even know what it feels like to run in that type of weather anymore - it's been decades since I have run in humidity. But I do love the ocean (and palm trees). Good for you for getting it done on vacation!
