We very illegally hiked and waded through the Rio Grande yesterday so that I could step foot in Mexico for the first time. It was actually somewhat tretcherous, and I just kept thinking about how mad I would be if I broke my ankle while doing it. But we made it, and I have officially been to Mexico.  No storms.

Ran around the parking lot of our hotel in Midland, Texas this morning. Tuesday is interval day so I found a stretch of industrial road next to the hotel that was about 450 meters long or so. Did 3 x up and back and 3 x one way. The times don't matter at all, but they were 3:49. 3:37, 3:30, 1:39, 1:32, 1:28.  Not bad (I guess?), but I was dead after the last one. Which is a good thing.

Should get an okay chase day in today. Keep your fingers crossed.

 

 

 

Miss you, pig.

Hey illegal trespasser to my country! What is the meaning? Just kidding.

I've always considered that the mexican borders are depressing and just plain awful.

Haha, I'd agree, the border was kind of gross. But it was just because we crossed onto some land where people were keeping horses. But I got to see my first Mexican horse poop.
