I got to go for my first run in the hills of Pamplona today. Really, they are the hills of Tajonar, but whatever. Catherine thought she might leave me the car today, but took it. So, no practice and I was just stewing in my nervousness this morning, so I went on a jog.
I trotted down the street in our pueblo (Tajonar) to the park and found a dog trail that runs up through the hills. I could see all of Pamplona and our pueblo from there, it was beautiful and the weather is beautiful today. Lots of red roofs and large homes on the horizon. I´ll probably go up there soon to take some pictures so you can see where I´m living.
As I reached the top of the trail, it became quite muddy and had huge grooves from truck tires in it. The excursion became more like freestyle walking than running at that point. But, the neat thing was, as I hopped through and around the mud, butterflies and moths would spring from the ground beneath my feet and flutter a bit in front of me before flying off into the brush. It was like butterflies were coming out of my feet. Very cool.
That definitely helped my stomach, but now I´m back and catherine just got home and we´ve gotta go get the kids and I´ll probably drive. I can do this. Send me good vibes and focus!
