Always

I opened a new blog that talks about my youngest daughter, it is in Spanish, I discovered I like writing in Spanish too :P it is faster to think!!!

Finally I resigned and visited the doctor. But it was needless -as always-. It is very hard to find good service in a hospital around here. At least for some of your reports I know that it can happen anywhere. The thing here is that when arrive to the hospital I asked for an appointment with the internist. Waited 40 minutes to find out with this doctor that he was an specialist for the heart and lungs. I will need to visit another doctor who is at the hospital only from 2-4 pm. Ok, so I will have to re-schedule this visit for latter on the week. It was only around 12. Still the visit worked psicologically somehow. I started feeling some better after being there at the hospital. Hope my organism can deal with this by itself. How I miss my "curandero" in Mexico, a place where all sorts of natural medicine are available and they word pretty well...

There is always an up to come during any down. Always, always, always!

My bright six days a week running started until Wednesday.
Yesterday's run was along with nausea and dizziness. It came to my mind a RW's interview about this woman who struggle training for the marathon while she was under chemotherapy. I just thought, certainly nothing compares to that. This is the time to go back again to think about how much do I struggle, sorry... Completed 4 miles. At least...
Today was much better. Programmed two loops from home to the end of the hotel and back. Made both without looking G, it happens that I discovered that my pace is going some faster that usual, -nothing really fast of course-, but as soon I was looking at this faster pace, I felt tired. Like thinking that this faster pace, -despite feeling well- was something to feel tired about! Grrr...
Went only by RPE. Avoiding watching G at all. I think this is what I have to do....

Later edit
I interrupted my writing thinking of posting a photo from Google earth who has refresh photos from my area and I wanted to show you some of those. Also I still haven't being able to look for the map from the day that I ran the marathon.
I was trying to connect G to my laptop when suddendly it stocked. It can't even being turn off and it wasn't sending data to my computer... Will it be the end of its days???

The mental aspect of running is such a huge part. If you think you're running too fast, then we start to feel tired instantly....that is such a mental game! I imagine writing in spanish is much easier for you. Your english is so good - it is impressive.

Try holding the Lap/Reset and Mode button down at the same time Hilda - this resets the Garmin.

Of course it will need a little charge in the battery to do this.

I hope Garmin recovers.

Running on 'feel' is often best. I think you're due for some goood training runs.

I agree with D, tha mental aspect is very important, it can change our behaviour during a race or a workout.
About the language, I understand spanish (similar to my italian) but I don't speak it! I use to talk for work with spanish people and we understand each other even if we speak (slowly) our own language.

1/2 or running is between your ears. It's taken me a long time to stop running to the clock (unless I'm doing a specific speed work out) and simply run how I feel. I find myself wearing my Garmin less and less and instead use one of the many mapping programs to figure out how far I went after the run.

You write very well in English; but don't hesitate to write in any language you want to use; we'll adapt. My English is passable, my French isn't too bad, my Spanish is nearly non-existant, but I can learn.

Have a great weekend.

My Garmin recently 'spat the dummy' and froze up. Not working at all. Pressing Start, Mode and Reset while charging it fixed him all up. Good luck with yours.

I had a look at your other Blog at http://mexicanacorriendoenbavaro.blogspot.com/ but it is all Spanish to me hehe.
