5 miles (8 Km) under the rain

It was a rainy morning. Alex and Carlos ran 6 miles. I ran 5 miles in 55 minutes. My right knee was not helping so decided to cut across 72St so didn't over do it.

We had breakfast in the Deli. Nivi came over for the last time as she helped train her Turkish cook replacement. We took a picture with all the Saturday Deli staff.

Era una maniana lluviosa. Alex y Carlos corrieron 10 km. Yo corri 8 km en 55 minutos. Mi rodilla derecha no estaba bien por lo que decidi cortar por la 72St y no exigirle demasiado.

Desayunamos en el Deli. Fue el ultimo dia de Nivi que estuvo viniendo extra para entrenar a su reemplazo en la cocina turca. Sacamos una foto con todo el personal de los Sabados del Deli.

5 miles (8 Km) nice evening...

Last evening we ran 5 miles with Alex (Professor Garro-n) in 59 minutes. He just returned from Panama. It was a tolerably nice evening run.

Tincho couldn't make it as he went with Rosana to visit Lucy Gerbino in Queens. Her Mum recently passed in Rosario, Argentina. We send her our condolences.

Anoche corrimos 8 km con Alex (Profesor Garro-n) en 59 minutos. Acaba de regresar de Panama. Fue una corrida con clima tolerable.

5 miles (8 Km) Nice morning!

We ran 5 miles with Carlos in 52 minutes. It was a very nice morning.
The Professor is still in Panama taking care of what he says is "business".
We are not there so we will and cannot vouch for him...
In his stead we asked Salah to be in the picture, its a much nicer picture!

Corrimos 8 km con Carlos en 52 minutos. Era una maniana muy agradable.
El Profesor aun se encuentra en Panama atendiendo segun dice de sus "asuntos".
Nosotros no estamos alli, por lo tanto no podemos verificar si es cierto...
En su lugar le pedimos a Salah que pose en la foto en su lugar, es una foto mas hermosa!

Asado con truco en lo de Charlie Browne!!!

El Sabado despues de correr en Central Park nos fuimos a visitar a nuestro querido amigo Charlie Browne que vive en Ramsey, NY.
Esta es una visita que la realizamos en forma anual, hace ya varios anios, por lo cual se puede considerar como una cuasi peregrinacion...
Este anio se dio que Charlie cumple 50 el proximo 6 de Setiembre, lo que motivo una ocasion especial para darle con todo!!!
Como llovia al llegar, largamos con aperitivo, seguimos con ravioles y de postre helado!!!
Comenzamos con el truco hasta que nos agarro hambre de vuelta. Esta vez le dimos al choripan y entrania con ensalada. Todo regado con unos buenos tintos!
No fue facil irse, ya que lo bueno siempre dura poco...

4 miles (6.4 Km) midday run...

I ran alone at midday doing a 4 miles Reservoir in 35 minutes. It was pretty hot but luckily made it although my right knee has been giving me a hard time for sometime.

I had to do a weird run around the Reservoir as Central Park is full of crews clearing out last weeks debris from the storm that knocked down hundreds of trees.

Corri solo al mediodia 6.4 km en 35 minutos. Hacia bastante calor pero llego bien aunque mi rodilla derecha me viene molestado hace un tiempo.

Tuve que hacer un recorrido medio extranio pues el Central Park esta lleno de equipos despejando los arboles que cayeron la semana pasado por el tornado que la azoto.

Macho Dinner - Cena de Los Machos

On Thursday July 30th we had our traditional Macho Dinner gathering.
This time at Enzo's apartment as his wife Monica and daughter Emma are visiting relatives in Italy.

Present: Enzo Merluzzi, Marko Urbani, Carlos Vassallo, Marcelo Ballester, Tincho Badie, Diego Hodara and Master Sofronas. There were last minute absentees who gave inapropiate and inadmissible excuses.

We had a good time and ate pasta with bolognesa sauce that was marvelously cooked by Enzo whom we thank for his gracious hospitality.
