Just returned from a trip to the top of the mountain ridge framing the city of Oaxaca to the north. Richard, his three dogs and I ran more than 11 miles door to door.
It was a run, but indeed it included bits of walking up pitched inclines; we start the run at about 5000 feet and crested the ridge a bit over 6000. I was working very hard indeed as we neared the ridge line.
I felt "average" today. Not great, but not flat either. It was a damn hard run/walk of just over two hours. It was money into the fitness bank, but the best part was looking at both the city of Oaxaca and the Etla valley from our perch on the ridge, just stunning views on a gorgeous morning.
I feel ready to race any distance from 5K to a half marathon, a good feeling indeed. Give me a few interval sessions and I'll be good to go over the 1500/mile too, probably my best distance based on my natural abilities (or lack thereof!)
