El dia 20 de Enero se celebro el maraton XXX de la Ciudad de Culiacan, Sinaloa. El maraton fue transmitido en vivo por FaceBook gracias al Coach Hector Flecha Hernandez. Tambien fue grabado y editado por el Prof. Juan Jose Martinez y fue subido a la plataforma de Vimeo. Estos videos del Prof. Martinez son de magnifica calidad en todos los sentidos. Esperemos que esta lista de videos en el canal de Vimeo se agrande cada vez mas. me parece interesante que casi todos los corredores que se colocaron en algun lugar se pueden encontrar en las paginas de la International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).

Katelyn Ohashi A UCLA Gymnast

College gymnast have always surprised me with their tremendous skills. This week, a YouTube video was made viral. There is this incredible and amazing UCLA gymnast who scored a perfect ten in the floor event. Her name is Katelyn Ohashi. This young girl should motivate many younger ones!  I hope to see Katelyn in the Olympic games, I believe in 2020.
Katelyn has also a blog: behindthemadness.

Tuesday 400s repeats

Ran with Andres as usual (4X400s). It is dark when we started running. Maybe not as cold as last week, but ground had sand and was kind of slippery. Left leg is bothering me, particularly by the crotch. I hope I can get better soon. Tomorrow, I run with the young guys @ WeRun. Thinking about running with the second group.

400 m	1:37 min	6:30 MPM
400 m	1:37 min	6:30 MPM
400 m	1:37 min	6:30 MPM
400 m	1:44 min	6:58 MPM

Enjoyed the weekend with Sophia. Drove to St Louis for her gymnastics meet. She did really well, probably better than last year.  Got some footage of her.

Friday

I have this pain on my left leg that is bothering me. I don't know when it started, but I know it's been there for several days now. I tried to stretch and rest the leg and everything. I am not sure what works and what doesn't.
I was able to run some three miles this morning with Andres. Pace was not that bad -under 9:30 per mile. I'll try to monitor this pain.

Tuesday -- 400s repeats

Looking forward to running a few 400s this evening with my friend Andres. Curious to know our chronos. Preparing for the Amana Freezer 5K (January 26).

400 m	1:40 min	6:42 MPM
400 m	1:35 min	6:22 MPM
400 m	1:28 min	5:44 MPM
400 m	1:33 min	6:14 MPM

I am happy with the chronos for today's intervals.  Less than 7:00 MPM is pretty good for me. Let's see what happens next Tuesday when we do intervals again. I plan to run with the WeRun group tomorrow evening.

Monday - Rest Day

Ok, rest day is necessary. No running today. Maybe some other exercise. Flexibility is highly needed.
Yesterday, Andres and I ran Thursday Loop. I made a short video of him after the run.

Thorsday with Andres - January 6 2018

I also learned about Brad Barton. He has a world record on the mile for runners at 46 years old. He is also a motivator and a magician. Very interesting video -very motivating.

Third Day of the Year

Have been rowing two miles/day at CRWC. I had this pain on my lower back, it makes it hard to move my left leg...  I hope it goes away, I just need to add some flexibility exercises, I guess.
I registered for Amana Freezer 5K, January 26.
Didn't feel like running today. I even thought about riding the bicycle. The day was nice.
Thursday. I thought about going to run the Thorsday Loop, but I went out last night and went to sleep late. I also went running with the WeRun group at 6:00 PM (thanks to Adam, Kathy, and Steph for running with me). So, I was tired this morning.
I hope I can join the Thorsday Group next week. I should put it on my calendar.
January 11th is a track-meet I'd like to go.
