First day of my week long trip to Argentina. I have never been to South America. This turned out to be my only run of my trip. I was down there fir work and wow did I. Long days!! I loved every minute of it. The food was amazing. I ate more steak in 5 days than I had the previous 3 months.

and kept indoors for my run. I know I will be on the treadmill all next week because I won’t run alone outside in Argentina. I might as well get used to the grind. The run itself felt fine, I have a blister on my second toe right foot that is causing a bit of trouble. This toe regularly has gnarly blisters and issues, after healing completely during my layoff, I can see I will once again be lancing this toe regularly to drain the fluid. Is that too much information??

Went to the gym and did another night on the treadmill. It has been raining all week, so I can’t get myself to strap on a headlamp and run in the dark and rain. It took awhile for a treadmill to open up, all the dedicated people working out on a Friday night. I did a few light weights before to kill the time.

I can swim! No matter what my husband says….he said to me “glad you’re alive” when I told him I swam for my workout tonight. I wanted to run but my body does not like to run 3 days in row. I lifted upper body again, worked the guns. Also did some ab and core work.

I sweat more than any other person I know and sometimes it really shows! I went to the gym to get my first run of November in. I was supposed to go long yesterday, but after screwing up the time change and missing my morning timeslot I blew off the whole running commitment. Not one of my shining athletic decisions.
So I go to the gym tonight and jump on the treadmill. By the time I as finished with my run there was sweat all oer the bottom of the treadmill, along the handle and control panel, and of course I myself was drenched. Believe it or not most people in the gym were not sweating at all so I felt a bit strange obviously working so hard.
After my run I wipe down the machine with the disenfectant and towel, it so gross when others don’t wipe the system. I did notice that the woman next me after seeing me work beyond a easy jog, also increased her speed to a little too.
