Additional Comments:  The Cloud Forest School will host its third annual 10K Race to raise money for its school scholarship program this year. The route passes through the scenic mountain roads of Monteverde, on the edge of the Cloud Forest. It is the only 10K in Costa Rica that crosses the Continental Divide. Although we make every effort to keep tuition as low as possible, 65% of our students still receive scholarship assistance because of family need. Please consider taking part in this beautiful run for a good cause!

finally back online

It seems like it's been a month since I was able to get online. For some unknown reason we had no internet at my house for the past week and a half but now we're back.


So in the last couple of weeks I've been pretty busy. Making sure to get a run in most days. I hit the big mark last week. 5K!!! That's 3.1 miles to all you Gringos out there.

Speaking of running, I have gotten a couple of posts and emails from people looking for races here in Costa Rica. I am looking into whether or not there is a central listing of races and will post more info about this soon.

I do know that the Costa Rica International Marathon will be on December 7. The contact email for this is maraintercostarica@hotmail.com contact person is Guillermo  Saenz.

Workouts! The Warriors and Goddesses Workout that I mentioned before my internet blackout is good, it's hard. It's pretty old fashioned but I like that, there's a reason certain exercises are always included in workouts or recommended by trainers and athletes and this one is chock full of them. Biceps curls, push-ups, crunches, over head shoulder presses. I really suggest that you email Ray Salomone and request a copy, he will gladly answer any questions you might have and this is definitely a good one to keep on file and in your rotation.

I'll post more later but right now it's family dinner time.

super quick

I have no internet at my house, for no apparent reason so I am in a cafe posting this super fast.


1. Warrior and Goddesses workout is killer!
2. I hit the 5 k mark with my running.
3. Summer is totally starting in Costa Rica

All for now, hope to have connectivity at home again so I get back to real posting.
