Read newspapers online has become part of daily routine in the middle of my coffee before heading out to college. I review several newspapers, both of Cuenca as Quito and Guayaquil, and well I think with this distance I can have a pretty good idea of ​​what happens in my country.

Recently I was more aware than ever, especially in the sports, for news of the races of the Cruces Basin . For obvious reasons the local media coverage given to it, but national media truth nothing comes out, just for them traditional 3 races in this country do not exist, 45 years Las Cruces Circuit , Circuit 42 years Boroto Richard Child , and 11 years of race walking Luis Chocho .

I wonder what should make Cuenca to be shown on these national media?, Or do anything, if not in Quito or Guayaquil skills do not matter.

As an athlete I can say that when we learned of racing, is through "word of mouth" and if we see a competition in another province, is because they show the results of what had been the day before, on a small note lost in the paper.

Eye is not only events of this type, a few days ago was the same with Deportivo Cuenca. Although I am a fan of Cruz del Vado , which is in the second category, I was happy to know that the D. Basin achieved a historic step in the Libertadores, and for truth in media Basin was published this, but for the mass media both Quito and Guayaquil as tv, truth was no great feat, and it was as it happened, point.

Again I ask, is that just like bad news from the provinces to publish?, Is that perhaps rank next round of the liberators is not so great, or have a career for 45 years and have been the hotbed of the most great distance runners of the country is not enough?.

Both the D. Basin as the Circle Cross Vado are traditional clubs in the heart of Cuenca, and do great things not only for the city but across the country, or perhaps there is also jealousy and regionalism in the media? or just remember the Cuenca, when they become champions and win medals?

I sincerely hope not.

In recent days the weather was so cold that there was as jogging, now this week has started to improve and winter officially ends in 2 weeks, finally.

Since this weekend I started running normally again, but on Monday I was surprised a pain in the neck that keeps me moving, it seems stiff neck, see how I wake up tomorrow, but will play to go to the doctor to have treatment do you recommend.

Between that I've been lying down and reading this afternoon, I found this video that a friend has it on his blog , and I really liked it.

It is a tribute to the Iron Man, who only wanted to see him until I got out to take that time, but well have to wait until tomorrow to continue training.

I expect and enjoy.

I write this post minutes before bed to bed early (23H54) to years.

For several years I see on TV the powers of Iron Man , I looked like a crazy, making swimming (3.8 km), cycling (180 km) and marathon (42.2 km) in one competition, but ultimately admired .

3 years ago that I took up the sport hard, I've been around the idea of wanting to do the Iron Man , but as I needed that and start saying yes, but because of my training and the completion of the Marathon told me is about time.

Just last year reviewing videos on youtube I came to one of Iron Man and found the " Team Hoyt "but I prefer to see the video for me to tell you the story.

I took her out
It was a friday night

To get the feeling right
We started making out
And she Took off my pants
But Then I Turned on the tv

And thats about the time she Walked Away from me
Nobody likes you when to're 23
And are still amused by tv shows
