Running in Panama

So this post is dedicated to all my running friends :-) and my father of course!  The first week I was in Panama I was not able to run at all, but as soon as we got to our training community that changed.  A fellow trainee and I run every morning (at 6:15 am when it is just barely light enough to see the roads).  Our training community is INSANELY hilly, and most of the roads are unpaved, but it makes for GORGEOUS runs and excellent workouts.  The one morning we deided to bring along our cameras, so here are some pictures of what our daily runs look like!

Also, let's just say that running in the near dark, down steep rocky hills can end badly.  One morning, I tripped on a rock and did a beautiful super man style fall/slide down the hill.  Upon hitting the ground I began to whimper, then curse, then laugh histerically and of course finished the run.  I didn't realize until the run was ending that my knees where both dripping blood, if the Panamanians didn't already think we were crazy for running, they def thought we were crazy after they saw the bloody white girl running. . .oh well lol.
