Keep Calm and Run On

Today was quite an awful run. The past 2 nights I didn't get much sleep and am dehydrated. We stayed in a city and it was hard to find a good place to run. It was hot, humid and I was so happy to finally be done for the day. I hope every run this week is not like this- I don't think I could make the whole week. 

Today was better. We are in Campeche and there is a great trail right by the ocean that is perfect for running. I did 10 sets of 30 seconds on/off. My legs are still stiff and sore from all the traveling but an improvement from yesterday. 

Run with 10 sets of 30 seconds on/off. I was not able to run any more or later in the day. 

After a fun day of touring and exploring, we ended in Playa Del Carmen for a sunset run. It was super crowded where we were and Richie needed to find a hotel so I just ran laps at a park. It was 400 meters around and a long night of laps to get my miles. But I felt really good after sleeping better last night. 

A.M. Ran 4 miles around the same park as last night

P.M. We got to our hotel in Cancun and did a night run of 6 miles

Today was pretty crappy. I ran a 2 mile warm up then planned to do a tempo run. There is a path right outside the hotel that goes up the hotel strip in Cancun and great for running. Start running and it is so windy. I start into the wind and it's not going too great. I turned around 2 miles out hoping to feel better and I felt worse. My whole body just hurt and felt so heavy and tired. I finished a 30 minute tempo that was much slower than I wanted. I was determined to get my long run and finished the miles but I am SO HAPPY to be done running in Mexico. It was hard to get runs in and knowing where to run.
