The winds of change have swept over Mazatlan, not just in the cool breezes that ruffle the ocean waves but in the habits of the locals who've seized the opportunity to break a sweat without breaking a thermometer. As the temperatures dip, so does the inhibiting heat that typically turns a beach jog into a tropical sauna session.

Meet Roberto Gonzalez, the man who has finally found his stride on the Mazatlan boardwalk. “With less heat, you can go out more in the mornings, sometimes you think about going for a run or walk because of the heat, but without those high temperatures, you feel more comfortable,” he declares, his enthusiasm contagious.
