Run in Hoyo de Manzanares with Richi. He was strong in the thick green but I was much stronger on the uphills. He is going to have to train hard to beat me in the half.

Warm-up and cooldown

Carrera de las Luces in Cercedilla. This was a night race where they required everyone to wear a headlight. Really fun! I had to bike 40kilometers prior to the race to drop off the deposit at my new apartment. So I was a little tired to start.

Finished third to two very good road runners. It was a trail run but with a lot of easy dirt road running since it was at night. Very good workout at any rate.

Short easy run in CDC with Richi. We had a few fast pick ups because of competition between us. My legs are still pretty tired. This seems to happen every time I come back to Spain. Possibly jet lag. I'd rather not keep this fatigue from affecting me in the future. So a little shorter today.

Followed by pedastool routine and push-ups.

An easy jog around CDC with Ben and an American ultrarunner named Dean. Great conversation with the guys. Really fun to run with others. It also felt great to ease back on the pace for a day.

Another easy day in CDC. It's hot out but as long as I stay on shaded trails I'm good.

Easy day in CDC. It's amazing how quickly I've changed schedules. It's been one day and I already feel like I've been on this schedule for months. I suppose my body is used to it. Really nice to be back in my Spanish home.
