Just don’t call me from a blocked number… Well, I know I haven’t blogged in a couple of weeks… lots happened and not a lot happened.
In the Running sense, I seem to be at a standpoint. I am always slow past the marathon, I am tired, it was freezing a few days, so it all amounted to a big whole of not running much. I didn’t run for 10 days after the marathon, then I went on a 5 mile run with my friend Kettia last week, then I did around 8 miles during the Knickerbocker 60K in the park and then I run last night, a crazy almost 6 miles at 10:40 pace. See? nothing exciting at all.
What’s exciting is all the other stuff. So much stuff that I barely thought about running. I had my Naturalization Oath two weeks ago, and became a US Citizen
With that, they took my green card and I went on a frazzle as I am going overseas in two weeks! Emmm, I need to get a US passport ASAP to be able to come back in! Expedite and Run around I did, passports get done in one day!!!
Now, get ready for my trip, start packing, get a new iphone, get all set up at work, get excited about Thanksgiving sign up for races for when I am back, and oh, cheer for my hubby doing his first ultra, the Knickerbocker 60K.
Juan ready to run his first ultra!
And they are off, Ken, in yellow and blue, also doing his first! And Lisa, a super ultra veteran!! wohoooo!!
Guess who! ok, 1 lap done, 8 more to go!
more fun, well, it was like 6 or 7 hours of fun actually…
Juan on the west side
Tommy was flying!!!
And flew to an Overal Third Place. AMAZING. 60K is like over 37 miles people!!!!
That’s a LOT of salt/sweat… oh oh
Sky, on the left, got Second Woman, amazing job!! and Tommy. Both in my running team!! Congrats guys!
Top three Women: 1. Gordon Bakoulis (in the middle) a BEAST, seriously. Serious. 2. Sky Canaves, on the right, love her! and 3. Julie Kheyfets, didn’t know her but CONGRATS ALL!
AND, HE’S DONE!!! Congrats Ironman/UltraRunner!!!
we all love our BLING
I never thought I’d see this: he smiled through the whole race, and he looked so strong. NOT normal for a first ultra… I think!
I love these people!
I had to let him hug me as sweaty as he was… I had no choice 😉 Congrats Juan!!!!!!
It’s a been a fun and busy two weeks and I promise I will get my act together. After the delish and long-awaited Thanksgiving. And after my trip. And maybe after the Holidays. So, someday. You’ll be there, right???

Congrats to you!!! My wife doesn’t let me hug her after races, though I did steal a small one during my marathon in Sept. True love means you will hug your partner after a long run.
