Happy New Year 2010!!!

This being the last day of this decade and year I shall do a short recap of 2009: The goals and aspirations of The Credibility Team were obtained as we finished the NY Marathon (in my case for the 3rd time in a row).

Our goal for 2010 is to run the BA Marathon on 10/10/10. We hope that several relatives and friends will be able and willing to run with us. So far we are trying to convince Guri (Carlos younger brother), Nicolas (my son) and Rosa (my daughter in law), none have commited yet. All who are serious in training to eventually make the finishing line are welcome to join us.

Visiting Argentina this year will coincide with the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the Argentine Independence process begun on May 25th, 1810 that lead to it's formal independance on July 9th, 1816.

Siendo este el ultimo dia de la decada y del anio hare un pequenio repaso del 2009: Los objetivos y aspiraciones del Credility Team fueron logrados, ya que llegamos a la meta del NY Maraton (en mi caso por 3ra vez consecutiva).

Nuestro objetivo para el 2010 es correr el BA Maraton el 10/10/10. Esperamos que varios parientes y amigos sean de la partida. Estamos apalabrando a Guri (hermano menor de Carlos), Nicolas (mi hijo) y Rosa (mi nuera), ninguno se ha comprometido aun. Todos los que seriamente se entrenen para eventualmente llegar a la meta son bienvenidos para correr con nosotros.

Visitar la Agentina este anio coincide con el bicentenario del comienzo del proceso el 25 de Mayo de 1810 que llevo a la independencia formal de la Argentina el 9 de Julio de 1816.

Tenemos prueba fotografica de los habitos alimenticios del Profesor Garro-n mientras esta de vacaciones! A este ritmo hara la maraton de BA revotando!!!

News from La Plata, Buenos Aires I

I felt that this picture of Professor Garro-n in La Plata Park doing stretching before a supposed non defined distance run is for sharing!!! If you want to make this up it doesn't work out so well!!! Unbelievable, no comments...

Pense que esta foto del Profesor Garro-n en el bosque de La Plata estirando antes de una supuesta corrida de distancia no determinada valia la pena compartirla!!! Si uno quisiera preparar esto no saldria tan bien!!! No se puede creer, sin comentarios...

6 miles (10 Km) cold & drizzly morning

After a week of having to postpone runs due to weather conditions we were able to do our usual 6 miles with Carlos and Jennifer in 1:06 hrs around Central Park.
Susan Muller ran half of the way as is recovering from a left leg injury. Emily wasn't able to make it as stayed over visiting her Dad who was recently operated. We wish him a quick recovery.

Despues de una semana en la cual tuvimos que suspender las corridas por razones climaticas pudimos finalmente hacer nuestros usuales 10 km con Carlos y Jennifer en 1:06 hrs alrededor de Central Park.

6 miles (10 Km) very cold morning

Emily did her last race to qualify for the 2010 NY marathon. We ran with Carlos to keep her company as it was a very cold morning. They ran the 9 miles. I did 6 miles in 1:05 hrs.
We all then meet in the Deli for breakfast and celebrated the holidays toasting with prosecco! It snowed a lot shortly after midday!

Emily corrio su ultima carrera con la cual califico para la NY maraton en 2010. Corrimos con Carlos para acompaniarla ya que era una maniana muy fria, ellos corrieron 15 km. Yo corri 10 km en 1:05 hrs.
Nos reunimos en el Deli para desayunar y luego celebramos las fiestas brindando con prosecco! Despues del mediodia nevo un monton!

6 miles (10 Km) unusually mild morning

Howard was in the Deli so we all had breakfast and a good laugh to start well off the day!!!

Xmas tree for Maruca!

Amanda y Maruca pasaron por el Deli y nos pidieron que las acompaniaramos a elejir un arbolito de Navidad para su depto. Encontramos uno muy bonito!

6 miles (10 Km) sunny but very cold morning

We ran 6 miles around Central Park in 1:06 hrs with Silvia, Carlos and Sam "Castro", Silvia's dog who smokes Cuban cigars while he runs with us!!! The picture was taken in the Park on the East Side and 102 Street cross cut. Had some breakfast at the Deli.

Corrimos 10 km alrededor de Central Park en 1:06 hrs con Silvia, Carlos y Sam "Castro", el perro de Silvia que fuma cigarros cubanos mientras corre, grande!!! La foto fue tomada dentro del parque en el lado Este con la cortada en la 102 St. Desayunamos en el Deli.

6 miles (10 Km) cooler morning

We ran the 6 miles loop around Central Park with Alex and Carlos in 1:05 hrs.
This was Alex's last run with us during 2009 as he's traveling to Argentina for the Holidays and will return on mid January 2010. His unreasonable and out of context comments and remarks will be missed as they make our mornings brighter! He solemly promised to keep running during his holiday, thing that is very dubious, based on past experiencies...

Corrimos 10 km alrededor del Central Park con Alex y Carlos en 1:05 hrs.
Esta fue la ultima corrida de Alex del 2009 con nosotros antes de su viaje para las fiestas en la Argentina de donde regresara a mediados de Enero del 2010. Extraniaremos sus comentarios y exclamaciones incoherentes y fuera de contexto, los mismos hacian nuestras manianas mas soportables! Prometio solemnemente seguir corriendo durante sus vacaciones, cosa de muy dudoso cumplimiento, basandonos en las experiensas pasadas...

6 miles (10 Km) pretty fair morning
