Weekly Summary – 62 Miles in 12 Runs. This will be my last full week of training for the season. An awesome 10k PR (29’48) and victory on Wednesday morning, but mostly just easy running and traveling as I tried to get some last-minute things done before a brief trip back to the US. One more big effort with the 5-minute fundraiser next week and then off-season!

 

Lunes, 18 Noviembre, 2013 – 10am: late night last night at the wedding, didn’t sleep much and then a long, uncomfortable bus ride back to the city very early this morning. Ran easy 10km to the park and back. My last run in Quito (of this season)!

PM: Off, travel to Lima.

Martes, 19 Noviembre, 2013 – 11:30am: Slept late and well at Tanja and Jose’s last night. Didn’t wake up until after 10am! Wow. Ran later because only running once today and still a bit stiff when I woke up. Easy run around Miraflores. Felt quite good. One weird and random excruciating cramp or something in my right quad about 10 minutes in, which was mildly concern, but went away when I stopped and stretched it. Otherwise, all normal. Total run 4M++ in 32’.

PM: Off, planned. Rest.
