"For ME this is Heaven" Part 3 (Ushuaia part 2)

Last post , Mila and I walked up a mountain to see a glacier, took a train to the end of the world , and saw some of the most beautiful landscapes we'd ever seen.  I stopped writing as we were coming back to Ushuaia.  Headed back into town After our morning outside, we had decided to spend the afternoon inside. On the train we heard about the prison that the tracks were built for. That prison had been turned into a museum that commemorated not only the prison, but also the area. The "chucu-chucu" cutter sitting in front of the prison The museum not only covered the harsh life that the early-mid 20th century prisoners endured, but also maritime history of Antarctic exploration . Many of the exhibits were reconstructions of huts and lean-tos where explorers attempted to survive. Some did, many did not. Additionally, there was a large display of model ships that showed famous Antarctic trips. Magellan's Trinidad The Duchess of Albany which may have been scuttled for ins...

Swag bag

 It's been a busy few weeks since I wrote my last post  about the state parks we've been visiting.  Well, we did it again.  I wanted to roll up our trip to Jordan Lake with an update on the Csapo Family 5k and a shortened write up from our in-person 5k.  So, let's get to it.

In it for the long run

The long run.  It's a staple of any distance training plan.  The runner is building themselves up for that big goal race bit by bit.  As I'm writing this blog, I'm also using it as an opportunity to learn myself.  I'm not about to say that I'm an expert on, well, much of anything.  Writing a running blog when you're not an expert can be dangerous to the readers or it can be taken as a chance to learn.  I'm going for option #2, talking about my experiences while trying to learn and relaying what I learn. In today's research, I came across as article by Greg McMillan about the long run. In it, he admits that some of his views are a bit controversial.  However, at the end of the article, I read that the "controversial" parts of his article involve not ingesting tons of calories during the run.  Funny thing is, that matches perfectly with what I'm trying to do with this primal diet and training plan. In his article, McMillan specifies two type...
