Running & Studying

This weekend has been pretty brutal because I have four exams next week and a huge paper due. The good news is that I escaped studying this morning to go for a 9k run with some other distance runners at Chipinque. Afterwards Sigi treated us to agua fresca and barbacoa tacos. He also gave me his heart-rate monitor, which has been quite interesting. I found out that my resting heart-rate is 44bpm, not 50 like I thought. At the end of the 9k loop we do at Chipinque there is a 2k uphill on the road, to reach the start of the trail. We hammered the uphill pretty hard this morning and I finished with a pulse-rate of 198bpm. I thought that was pretty cool too.
