Last Week

So I ran twice more last week, starting to get my legs a bit. I ran to Enbek to visit someone (with a few breaks, but I am thinking it is at least 12 or 13 miles). Is anyone else running? I don't want to be the only one!

Progress So Far

So I have run twice so far since I have been here, two problems that have arisen are a) I am at 9,200 feet altitude, and I get exhausted quite quickly and b) I don't have a ton of free time. I also walk 35 minutes to and from school and have played some soccer, so I am getting exercise.

My first run was only about 3 miles through the town to get to know it, and I got pretty tired. My second run though was probably about 5 miles, maybe 5 and a half. The picture I posted earlier was kind of a joke/wishful thinking, but the trail literally looked exactly like that, and I ran by some nomads and some goats, it was awesome.
