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.

Finished up my week with a steady effort on the treadmill. Wanted to keep the heartrate under 150 to work on building VOMax.

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.

Nice trip, half on trail half on road. Happy with the effort and run. Feel good about hitting my goals so far in October. Lots of rolling for a great challenge climbed almost 3000 feet, that’s a good workout. Wish I was a little faster, something to work on. I wore my Saucony heavier street shoes, by 9 miles I was getting tired of them on my feet, won’t take them out for longer than 90 minutes in the future or on trails,

I will do my long run tomorrow, but wanted to set out and get a few miles in. This is roughly the same course I ran 2 days ago that felt like crap.. What a difference today. I will chalk it up having the opportunity to do an afternoon run, my favorite time of day to get out.

Should not be this much effort to run 5 miles. But sometimes it just is harder than usual. Also ran around mad at the last X-country meet of the season. Tired today, felt like I had already put too miles in this week and I haven’t even done my long run. Have to remember I am building a base for Western States.
