Training Hard
Hey Everyone,
Training is going really well. I am in Mexico training hard doing altitude training. I am really excited since this is my first year running professionally, i finally have more time to spend on workouts, and all the other small things that are important to having a healthy running/training experience. I have been in Mexico now for about a month and a half and expect to be here till the end of Feb. It is really hard to be away from friends and family but i know that it is a sacrifice that i have to make to try to be one of the best in the world. Eventhough that maybe the case, i am enjoying my time here. Today we went ran up this inactive volcano. We started the run at 3000m and ended at 4000m, the first 2k was really difficult since it was kind of a shock to the body, but after we warmed up the run was great. We ran to the crater touched the water and ran about half way back were the run would end. We felt as though we were on top of the world at the very top. It was a great day for running. I am really excited about the upcoming season, like i said before training is going really well, so i will be eager to see results.
Best regard to everyone from Mexco
Leo

i think its great what you're doing in track right now especially for Latino athletes, you're proving that we can also compete at an elite level. My family came from Guanajuato to the states back in the 1950's. Are you from Guanajuato ?
keep up the good work!

Good luck this season. I use to say my heroes in running were pre and shorter. After watching your race in the 1500 at the 2008 NCAA champs, i now say manzano. Keep up your running.
