Dawn 10k in the mirador

This morning was up at 5:30 a.m., took the girlfriend and We went to the park at 6:30 a.m. I did 10k,5k to the luperon and back, put the watch on time of day and just cruised at an easy pace, the pace felt very relaxed but I felt sore and somewhat tired! Finished the 10k in 56:08, wanted to do strides or a couple of more kms, but I felt thristy and call it a day after 10k. Weather was hot, but managable. Happy Saturday!

Unplanned change of route in the heat

Yesterday was an unplanned rest day. This morning slept in since I had to wake up at 2:15 a.m. to 4 :00 a.m. to take my father to the airport, so opted for extrasleep this morning. At 10:30 a.m. I went out for my run after thinking to skip the run but then I said to myself, if I want to be the best I can, 0 excuses, went out for it in the heat!! Went out to the conservatory , but I did not last too much there since they were repairing the street once again, another unplanned change in my route, opted for 2 laps in the maximo gomez loop as We(my father and I) call it. Dont know the exact distance but it was around 9k in 50:06. Felt tired at the end because I was thristy but cardiovasculary was feeling pretty good and the wind helped at times to cool things off!! Have a happy Friday!

Short dawn run

This morning was up at 5:15 a.m. and my girlfriend and I went to the park after the rain passed, I started the run at 6:35 a.m. We got things to do right after, so I had to cut the run short to 8 kms. Today was just an easy run with the watch on time of day, felt very easy but the legs were sore from yesterday, did not expect to feel this sore. It seems that yesterday's run was not that easy! anyway cardiovasculary felt like I was walking, finished the 8k in the mirador in 45:27. Weather was cloudy but was sweating a lot! I was hungry for more miles but the time did not allow!

Angry dawn run

Yesterday was a rest day. This morning was up at 5:30 a.m. , took my girlfriend and I started the run in the mirador park at 6:30 a.m. This morning I woke up pissed off without particular reason, maybe because I am very dissapointed for my country and for its lack of development, so I started the run faster than my easy pace, put the watch on time of day but when I was in the 1 mile mark I switched to the chrono and was 8:38 so I decided to just do sub 50 mins in the 10k and if it was tiring push even more, 2k in 10:35, then started to take splits the next kms, the following kms were in 4:54,4:54,4:52( 25:16 halfway feeling pretty good),4:54,4:54,4:55,4:57,4:47 to finish in 49:46 pace with second half in 24:30, felt very good and breathing was well under control, the last 2kms I was a bit tired , rised the splits a bit, but in the last km felt better and push it home, not even close to all out. It was a good effort today, dont remember the last time I did sub 50 mins in training, pace felt under control and felt much more focused and feel that the run passed by more quicky than when I run at my easy pace of 9 min miles. The weather was good, with a bit of downpour at times. At the end felt much better and not pissed off anymore, I left it all the anger in the run and when I struggle I put my head up and sped up instead of slowing down, it seems that I am not in that bad shape!! oh well!! We are allowed to run faster than easy sometimes in the base building. Legs felt very fresh and just locked into the pace like a robot!! Nice steady state run! Happy Tuesday!

Watchless dawn to the conservatory

Last night went to bed kind of late( after 12 a.m.), Woke up today at 5:30 a.m. but then decided to sleep1 more hour so at 6:30 a.m. I went out to the conservatory without a watch and just ran very easy there, my calves were very tight and I felt like an old guy for the first 500-600m, then just warmed up and increased the pace a bit, did 6 laps in the conservatory and came home to finish my 8.52 kms and my week. It feels great to run without a watch, you feel very free. The temps were much cooler than yesterday but it was hot though. My twin brother Dan G. is running a half marathon today and a lot of friend! Good luck to all of them!! Now off to my college monographic from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. for a lot of the upcoming Sundays! Runs this week:6 runs Kilometraje semanal: around 59 kms, I want more!

Dawn 12k in the mirador

This morning was up at 5:15 a.m. took the girlfriend and We went to the mirador park at 6:30 a.m. today I had planned to do 12k, started with "gutotoh"crew till the 2.5k, We started out nice and easy , after the 2.5k They but one stayed with me for kms, I ran with Hamlet Montas till the 5k, pace felt easy and conversation made miles go quicky, but after 5k I was running alone and things started to get a bit bad, the last 2 kms were a struggle and I almost leave at 10k, but endured and finished the run finished strong and with good form but tired, too humid and hot today. At the end of the run my girlfriend told me that I looked that I just jumped in a pool, I was soaking in sweat. I put the watch on time of day and just ran easy. Only knew my time at the end like most runs! Happy Saturday!
