Off the overnight bus in La Serena, but was still dark out, so just stuck tight in the bus station until it got light. Then went for a stroll down to the beach by the lighthouse. Big, big ocean. Then back to town and up to the observatory headquarters before being driven up to the mountain! Secretary was a bit confused I didn't show up in a cab from the airport, but whatever, I'm totally a fan of the Chilean overnight bus. Way more comfy than an airplane, I slept just fine, although not super-long. Shortly up to mountain top!

Gorgeous desert mountain scenery, nice thin altitude-training air, and I go and twist my ankle, while just on the dirt road in first 8 min. Grr. Expect it to be less bad than my Billygoat ankle twist, because I didn't go over on it multiple times while out running, but it's sore now. So back to the ankle brace for o when I get back, sad, it's been so nice to feel confident running without it for past few weeks!! Will make myself stay on roads for at least tomorrow, maybe next day, but at some point it's just soooo boring...

Tried to do drills, weird inner right-knee pain. Bah, not my exercise day...
