12x12 2012 = The Challenge: June 2012

Race 5 - Dallas - May 2012

This is the worse race for me so far!!!
My time was "horrible" It was extremely hot for me.
I walked around 3 miles.
This race was special because Arelys, Dewey, Arelys's dad, Crystal, Daniel and Carlos ran with us.

Heels and Hills - Dallas May 2012

Race 6 - San Diego - June 2012 - HALF WAY!!!!!!!!!

Number 6 is done... 6 more to go.
The race started at 6:00 am, the weather was perfect... this race was really good, around 30,000 people. Nice route, people cheering you up pretty much along the entire race.

Here is the inclination:

We thought a downhill race was easier.... it may be, because you go faster, but after the race 3 of us had legs pain.

Rock'n'Roll San Diego Medal

Race 4 - Edinburgh - April 2012

This is so far the MOST beautiful route. This race was indescribable. We ran around Edinburgh Castle, the North sea coast, magnificent scenarios, wonderful buildings.
My experience wasn't perfect, in fact, it was anything but perfect. It was very cold for me, I was sick, and I decided to run anyways..... bad idea.... I got sicker "obviously" and I end 2 days later in Houston after a long flight with Bronchitis

The Medal

Race 3 - Moab - March 2012

This one was beautiful, but difficult, the altitude of 4,025 feet killed us, as well as the cold weather.
It was also an uphill race all the way, so honestly I couldn't enjoy the Colorado River views. I am glad we had the opportunity to visit the park and do some hiking before and after the race... and here is a tip: "It did help me a lot to do the hiking after the race, I recovered faster, and I did not have as much pain on my calf as I usually do after a race"
The worse part of this race "There were not medals" I can't believe it.... it was the most difficult so far... and we didn't receive our medals"

Cold... cold... cold.... before the race started....

Race 2 - Houston - February 2012

I did not like this one. We have to ran 3 times the same loop. I think I have to prepare myself for this kind of races, it wont be always the perfect route.
Which was really special about this was the fact that my brother came from Venezuela and was running with my friends Katy, Gaby, Lucia and I.
