Hello there ! * salutes*
I forgot to write about the 16.1 Mile ( 25.7 km.) Run that I had participated in 3 weeks ago. My running time was 2 hours , 5 minutes, or about 8 minutes /mile, which was way above my record of 5-7 minutes /mile. The first 5 miles was easy peasy, the next 5 was a bit of a struggle, but the last 6 miles was brutal. I was ready to quit at that point , but those two elderly couples who were running waaay ahead of me inspired me to keep running. I did manage to finish the run, and got a medal for it . Yay me !
I was reading the history of the Manila- Acapulco Galleon Trade when I saw these 18th century maps of Mexico and other Spanish territories north of Mexico.
Texas was Nueva Filipinas during the Spanish colonial era.
Mexico ‘s original name was New Spain. After independence, it was changed to Mexico.
That’s what I learned today.
This is all for now. Bye and peace.
Am a Molecular Microbiology student, love to read books, and I play the violin.

Congrats on completing the run. I wouldn’t have started it; so finishing it would have been out of the question.

Wow! Congratulations!
If I ran that marathon I would have keeled over after a few minutes! I’m so out of shape!
😂

Well done with the run. I’ve just bought a running machine to gradually bring both my stamina and confidence up to scratch before I start trying marathons of any sort. You’re inspiring me! 😊

Maybe you can listen to audio history books while running?

I was listening to music while running… The Best of Queen, Led Zep, etc. 50 year old music. ^__^”

I guess that I also would have fit well as the older person encouraging you to keep running. Congrats on your persistence and thank you for checking in again to my blog.

Congrats on the run. And from someone who’s been running for about 50 years give or take breaks from injury and laziness your normal of 5 minutes per mile is pretty awesome.
