just run it

i've always had a love affair with the beach... the rush of the waves, the saltiness in the air, the sinking of your toes into the sand, it's incredibly calming. it's the perfect place to start + end the day, something i plan to do more often.

juquehy, along the coast of brazil is known for it's beautiful white sand beach, which was definitely enjoyed last christmas. morning runs offered peaceful reflective moments, syncopated with amusing ones as other people celebrated their morning walks in teeny tiny garments... it is brazil! the beach was more than ideal, a long stretch of around 5-6km, relatively flat with some inlets. the beach on either end is lined with dense green forestation + several small islands were not too far from the break.

on my morning runs i witnessed the start of the day with vendors, opening up their carts with coconuts + snacks, others setting up sun chairs + umbrellas for hotel guests... the heat of the sun could be felt, it wasn't even 8am, but what a way to start the day : )

there are a few running events on this month that though i'm not participating in, will be supporting in some way or another... so more on them soon.

one quiet evening in juquehy, we wandered down the beach for a stroll + to catch the sunset, it was beautiful + features below in this month's calendar :: now imagine running on it, go on.
