Running in Archidona

In March, Cass and I starting running after work in Archidona. We are NOT runners, but we were convinced by our athletic boyfriends and friends to exercise. At first we resisted and complained, but after the first couple of runs, we began to really enjoy it.  We sometimes go by ourselves, with interns, friends, coworkers or our boyfriends, but we always bring Penelope with us.

We run behind the office and cross the river on a wooden foot bridge.

The trail that we run is slightly hilly and filled with pebbles and rocks and the occasional pothole. We have to be careful!

We cross a small bridge over this stream.

The views of the mountains and the clouds are spectacular and make running in this area worth it.

We estimate it is around a 3 mile run, although recently we've been trying to run further. Upon our return, Cass often jumps into the river to cool down and swim around a bit.

There is talk of a group of us running a 10k in Quito (in the high altitude!) in August... we'll see if we can work up to it!

Have a great weekend, all!
Love,
Aliana
