This past weekend was the annual 5K and 10K run in Puerto Aventuras.  My wife got motivated by our good friends from the Cayman Islands to run the 5K just 5 weeks after giving birth to our beautiful daughter.  I had a blast playing Mr. Mom with some close friends as we cheered my wife and dozens of other friends and their families on throughout the race.  One of our friend's ran the 10K while all 4 of her kids ran the other races.  In addition to a 5K and 10K there was also a teenage run about 1K, a shorter run for preteens, and a 200 yard run for tots.


It was another day in paradise watching families from all over the globe enjoy the the festivities as well as watch some serious runners fly to the finish line.  After all the races were finished the hundreds of runners and gatherers socialized in the streets and made plans to party afterwards.  We ended up taking some champaign and orange juice to make Mimosa'a to Joe's Pub (local restaurant in Puerto Aventuras) where we probably hung out to long.    


As my family and I headed home there were still dozens of families out and about talking in Spanish, English, German, and Italian.  Sunday's like these are what living in the Riviera Maya are all about…getting outside, exercising, and enjoying friends and families from all over.
