| Crossing the island going the other way, at night. Stopping to take lots of pictures of a beautiful white goat in the middle of the night. Having a coconut thrown at our heads from the darkness. Apparently they didn't like us playing with their goat. Oops. |

| Easy running in the 8am 80F heat. First heat and humidity of the season made it a pretty painful run. Nice views of the beach the whole time though. |

| Climbing Mt. El Tucuche in Trinidad. A lot of hacking through dense bushes, untangling vines, and crawling under or over logs, while avoiding spiders everywhere. Stunning scenery and just an amazing rainforest. |

| Hiking through jungle, looking for Guanapo Gorge in the middle of Trinidad. Never found the gorge, got bitten by lots of spiders, and almost got stuck in the jungle in the dark. All in all, a great time. |

| The traditional HVO winter meet at Tenafly. A very nice, middle-distance style course set by Nadezhda Popova, lots of fun. The ice and snow were unpredictable, and falling through was quite common. Decent race for me, but 12 seconds behind Zhyk! |

| shoes: VJ - Cleats |
| Jogging around some trails and the orange course with Sergei after running the green course. Achilles starting to hurt again. |
