Adios

It is my last night in Playa del Carmen and I decided I am ready to come home. I just made the mistake of checking my work email and it bummed me out. However, it is time to face la musica dammit.

I kept up with my workout plan for the most part. Today I ran 10 miles and it was actually cool and rainy and nice out. I did it as soon as I got up, which I´m reluctantly finding out is the best time to run. I managed 8:40 miles with a 163 avg bpm and it felt easy and good. I´m still sore on my calves from running tip toed in the sand a few days ago.

I tried to go out in the ocean to do another swim but it was too rough and the guys on the jet skis were going to too close. I wish I felt more comfortable with swimming in those conditions but I don´t!

I can´t wait to get home into cleanliness and comfort and routine and my peeps. I will be upset when my skin and tan all falls off though. I will have more training tales and stats to report on when I return as well as photos. I may not get to this until the weekend since apparently there is a shit storm brewing at work.

This weekend is also a 5k race! I haven´t done one in years and am looking forward to it.

Smart decision on nixing the ows. I didn't think about that fact that you would be surrounded by drunk tourists operating watercraft.
