I have been tremendously blessed with the opportunity to travel to Puerto Rico once a month with my job. I do not get to spend an extended amount of time here, but the island is beautiful. One side of my hotel room has a view of the ocean and the other side as a view of the interior mountains.
The resort is large enough where I can get a 3 mile run in and enjoy the breathtaking views. The weather is even more humid here than in Alabama and I have no idea how they run a marathon in San Juan every year.
There is something very refreshing about an occasional change of scenery in running. New views allow runners to break the monotony of a the same runs every week. In college I weighed 245 pounds (I'm 5'9") and I would have never dreamed that the way I wanted to finish a long day of traveling would be a run before dinner.
The route I run here is mostly flat with one big hill over a canal where I can do repeats if needed. If you are interested in a very nice place to vacation a little away from the tourist hubs, consider Ponce, Puerto Rico. The flights from Atlanta are relatively cheap (right now) and you will enjoy the running.
