4h 25 min


Ok, so I am not the fastest. But it is done. And I am happy.


My feet did give me a hard time, particularly after mile 20.

Will post a picture of them when they recover a little bit.


Thanks to the crowd, they were at several parts of the course: Evi, Arianna (Mom), Leo (Dad), Ariannina, Angie, Isabel and Josh (who ran and had a great sign). And then for dealing for my post rece crankiness which was not a little thing.


I have some contributors to thank, you made this possible, I will try and put them in order of appearance:


- Francisco Prieto

- Raimundo De Solminihac

- Tyler Cymet

- Arianna Montalbetti

- Gilda Montalbetti

- Bruno Montalbetti

- Bruna Montalbetti

- Franco Montalbetti

- Hortensia Nuñez

- Monica Bravo

- Beatriz Jabat

- Arianna Caimi

- Andres Schultz

- Hernan Aguirre

- Isabel Munilla


Of course, my knees are remindidng me every minute of their work. But I think I will ice them to thank them.

Insisting on autumn


Autumn, continued


The season we're in


I am still not used to having autumn in the end of the year. I am also not used to the amount of color that you get here. Kind of a cheerfully sad welcoming of the desolation of winter.


Of course, running is so much easier at civilized temperatures.


The light was good yesterday, just before the rain came. So took some pics.

A small wedding gift


They are ready, just like my feet.
For a first big step.
Again, just like my feet.

Ahead, a long journey
Support and company
Respect and endurance
Love and tolerance

Lots of happiness
Many hugs.

Note: The photo above is temporary T & G will send me the real thing -their feet's picture- soon.
