Still on vacation and today I decided to go exploring a little. There is a pretty long steep hill next to our hotel that takes you out to a undeveloped part of the Island. I ran up the hill and was really feeling it but once I got to the top the views were unbelieveable. I had to stop and take it all in for a few minutes. I went down the other side and into a valley where I saw some some monkeys along the side of the road. There were about 10 of them and they just sit there as I ran by. I wish I would have had my camera to get there pictures. I ran on up and down some more large hills and just enjoyed the views. It was a good hill workout for me.

I didn't really run today but I went on a 3 hour hike in the mountains on the Island. The way I felt when I got back I felt like it ought to at least be good for a 6 mile run.

Just did another easy run on the Island. I could really get used to this but have to leave tomorrow. It will be back to the cold. I have enjoyed the vacation but my running has really suffered. I am really going to have to get with it when I get back. I feel like I am loosing the good base I built over the last few months.

Back home and it was raining today so I just stayed on the treadmill. This is the first 8 miler I have done in awhile. I felt good the whole way and plan on getting back to where I was before being sick and then being on vacation. I am really off of my plan right now and time will tell how much this has set me back.
