It's been a busy few weeks here in Honduras- with OYE's 6 year anniversary party in early June, followed by the annual COPA OYE soccer tournament, followed by family and friends visiting from the States- but we've somehow managed to keep up our training. On Monday we completed our last long run- a 2 hour run (ok, run/walk) through the local palm plantations and along the beach near Villa Sofia, where we live. We were out the door at 6am to avoid the heat and loved being out so early. It was a beautiful, peaceful run. Ana spotted two crested caracara eagles and I narrowly missed stepping on a river turtle!
For the rest of the week we'll be doing short runs and getting a lot of rest- though with 4 kids in the house this week that is proving a bit difficult! So far this week we have rescued a baby howler monkey from poachers, taught 3 kids to snorkel in the pool and then took them to the Cayos Cochinos where they saw a sting ray and lots of reef fish, been to the pool about 5.2 times daily, got about 3.2 hours of sleep each night, and have eaten LOTS of hot dogs! We are loving having visitors here though and it's definitely helping keep our mind off of the race.
We're heading to Progreso Saturday where Team OYE is busy making race t-shirts for our supporters. Hopefully we'll have a lot of OYE friends who come out to cheer us on. If you're in San Pedro Sula on Sunday- we'd love to see you somewhere on the race route!
3 more days til RACE DAY! (yikes!)
The battle of the century. Mechie. Ana. OYE. Who will raise the most money? Who will win the race? Watch while these two titans battle it out in the heat of San Pedro Sula, pounding the steaming pavement mile after mile in the name of youth empowerment in Honduras. You're not gonna want to miss it!
