Day 121: Running… to get the flowers

Calli: The run today was great! I had to run on my own again and it was around 2pm when I had the time. It is nice to have a job that has flexible hours so I can use the day to my advantage. So, when I started running I realized that I needed sunglasses to protect from the wind and the sand that it carries. It is very important to be able to see where you are going when you are running. especially on a busy road.However, I managed to run farther than I have before, but because we haven’t had time to do strength training my knee had lost it’s strength. I had to walk the last ten minutes home because I was afraid I would permanently injure myself. After the walk, I felt much better. Remember to do strength training, and wear your sunglasses. 

Jose: The running for me was an early morning run. As usual, that’s the only moment I have all the energy to do my exercise or else I have to workout at night after an 8 hours work shift and it’s not that fun anymore. The lack of appropriate hydration made me loose a whole minute this morning. I was feeling tired after just 10 minutes of being out and I lost the pace several times. The moral of the story: HYDRATE!!!! I have been drinking a lot of liquids during the day and I hope to get back in track on Thursday. For tonight I made another quick run… to the flowers store! I wanted to give Calli a small present for Valentine’s. Good thing she loved them! Aren’t they nice?
