Went for a run after the gym session from 4.20 pm to 5.20 pm. Boy that was tough, not because of the exercises earlier on the day but because of the temperature. 87 degrees, 50% humidity.

An easy run on Monday night, but it was the first run after 3 days of Charleston so it wasn't trivial. Feel good though, to be on the road again. Usual course around the Duke campus. 80 degrees, 60% humidity.

Went for a run instead of going to the gym since I wanted to get rid of some extra energy. As always, the Whole Food course is perfect for that. Just long enough to make me tired, not long enough to wear me down.

Forgot to switch off my watch when I arrived, so I'm guessing about 63 minutes (66 when I was in front of our door).

Saw Analia and Belen on the way.

85 degrees, 41% humidity

Has been a while. Busy weekend. Second time in a row: after running a half marathon on Tuesday, I lack energy to run Thursday and even the weekend. Need to take it more easy.

86 degrees. 35:28 minutes

It was very hot and humid, especially in the first hour of my run. A muscle hurts.

I did my long run on Sunday, and I was really tired on Monday. Tuesday I still felt various pains, but tonight's run, the first since Sunday, went fine. Tired legs though. I didn't bring a watch -- more like a recovery run.

Tonight I ran in the snow. Well, I didn't actually run in the snow since the sidewalks were salted, but you know what I mean. It was cold, but not too windy and I was wearing gloves for a first time. My watch is really getting to the end of its battery, so I don't have a time. I can't imagine it was very fast, since I ran carefully as there were some frozen patches here and there. Made it back home safely.

I was pleasantly surprised this morning, when I ran our usual course in 33:19 minutes, pretty fast. After Bulgaria our run took me 34:32.

All the way at the end of the run I felt my right knee a little bit weak, and when I felt it when I took a step on our stairs also. Nothing painful, but I felt it. I'm glad I decided against increasing my distance. Let's get some more 3 mile runs behind me before we increase mileage again.

It is official: we are married!

Lots of love from Riviera Maya.
