Fitness Run

Distance: not sure
Time: 42 minutes
Surface: concrete
Weather Conditions: 90s, hot and humid, late afternoon run
Location: Miraflores; Lima, Peru

Comments: I was determined not to succumb to the desire to cut the run short so I brought along the secret weapon - The Pixies. Typically I am a bit wary about carrying my iPod in Peru but desperate times call for desperate measures. 

The cliffs over the ocean are one of the most secure areas in Lima and the view is often a big help in getting through the hard parts.

But make no mistake, it was a tough run. The heat and humidity really are a factor. I got through it but didn't feel like it really was that spectacular a run. I struggled to keep a pace and never really hit a stride that I was comfortable with. But there was no real complications such as knee aches or persistant stiches in my side. I hope that is a good sign for my progress.
