After my failed attempt at a treadmill run, I biked for two days and tried an easy run again on sunday. Since I was going at snail's pace, I had plenty of time to take photos and take in some of the randomness that occurs in Mexico City.
Instead of NYC, it's Mexico City, instead of Macy's it's Palacio de Hierro, and instead of traditional Christmas decorations we have a manger scene made out of Legos. At first glance I thought it was Han Solo and Leia, but I dont remember cows in Star Wars.
Here is one of the better known "buildings" in mexico city- it is shaped to look like a horse, hence the name.
And as I was running the last few miles, I saw this street festival. Random street festivals are not uncommon here, but I have no idea what this man was doing. Sort of like the poor man's Cirque.
I am proud to say I made it 12 miles, albeit very very slow and was able to do a fatigue fighter run on the treadmill today without very much pain. So I am still planning on repeating the turkey trot but I cant promise I will do well. I may hang back and gossip with Polly.
And totally unrelated to running (like about 90% of the blog), a friend
