Intense weekend

Saturday was a beautiful day, in which we enjoyed a crystal-clear sky above Mexico City. We could see every mountain in its surroundings as well as my beloved volcanoes. Odi and I went for 2 hours of climbing at the University wall. It was her first time there and she enjoyed it a lot.

By the very first hours of Sunday, Luis, Edith and I started an un-assisted, self-supported run of the Prueba de los 3 días 2009 116 km course.

After a bit more than 5 hours of running and despite the heavy mist in the Ajusco area, we made very good progress and arrived to El Zarco by 8:30 a.m. We refilled our water bladders at La Marquesa and continued towards Presa Iturbide.

10 kilometers after that, I developed a strong pain on the right side of my chest, apparently due to a floating rib that I got injured some years ago. We made another stop when we arrived to La Glorieta (near Villa Alpina), so I could have some rest and to see if the pain would cease. It didn't happen, so we opted to bail from the run, after 56 kilometers.

We rode a bus back to the city but promised to come back another weekend to finish the run (after me going to the doctor). In spite of that, we had an amazing time running together from 3 a.m. to 11 a.m. :)

Once in the city, we celebrated life and friendship with some well-deserved beers and tacos, then each of us went home. I had a shower at my parents place and went to see Odi, we had a very important talk pending...

Around 8 p.m. and under a bright and almost full moon we decided to finally become a couple, after 3 beautiful months of dating. It was definitely the best finish for such an intense weekend! <3
