On the run

Tuesday, June 17th Race . Tuesday, June 24th Race . Friday, June 27th Race . Well, now three runs passed since the last entry. On Friday the 20th, I skipped the run and, with it, the weekly wandering, so I didn't publish that week's entry. Why did I skiped the run? Yes, it's true that I had a get-together with friends on Thursday the 19th, but the truth is, I didn't eat much or drink much, so the excuse that I slept poorly because of a heavy dinner is irrelevant. The problem was quite the opposite: I slept very well and kept going. When I woke up, it was too late to go running. With the heat and humidity now, it's better to go very early. I'm still fine-tuning the distances I'll run this summer. I've already found routes longer than 6 km, which was the route I ran when I recovered from my shoulder dislocation last year. But I haven't finalized them yet. I'd like to set a 6.5 km route on Tuesdays and at least an 8 km route on Fridays. Today I fell...

  Tuesday's run . Friday's run . I'm reducing my distances now; this week I ran a little less than 8 km on Tuesday and a little over 8 km today. My goal is to keep both weekly runs within that range. Last summer, during the summer, both runs were 6 km, so I want to push myself a bit more. In other words, I'm already getting ready for summer, which has officially begun for me. Yes, the official date is the solstice, which will be next June 20th, in a week. But for me, just as spring begins with the Palo Verde trees blooming, summer starts when the humidity is over 85% at 5:30 AM and you sweat a lot while running. When Mariana and I reached the entrance of Colonia Mariana and each went our separate ways, I started thinking about the book "HISTORIA DE LA TIERRA, UNA COSMOGONÍA PERSONAL" It's been 9 days since it came out, and on one hand, I'm very happy; it has remained among the top one or two best-selling books on Amazon Mexico in several categories rel...

  Race on Tuesday, June 3rd. Race on Friday, June 6th The weather is changing, and with it, I'm looking to adjust my running routines for the summer. On Tuesday, I ran 8.8 km, and today, 10.5 km. The summer heat is already starting to be felt. One of the topics that always gets me thinking—not just when I'm running, or when I'm in the pool or on the terrace—no, all the time—is living beings. I've always been fascinated by how they respond to the environment and the way their life cycles synchronize with seasonal changes. But not only that: how they integrate with the other living beings they live with, forming complex trophic structures, who feeds on whom. We create surprisingly complex systems, which we call ecosystems. This is because living beings can perceive and process information from the environment. In this way, they determine when conditions are right for carrying out different activities when they are at risk, and what that risk is when the necessary food sou...
