Good long-awaited day finally comes, missing just 2 days for completion of JoongAng Seoul Marathon for which I have been preparing well for all these months.

I really am excited and nervous at the same time, be the first time that I will participate in a competition like this, so many nerves there and I just know that I am physically and mentally prepared to do it, period.

Has been a long road to get to the Marathon, I did not think it would be so hard that at times made me want to stop and that is all there, but I feel that everything was worth it so far.

Many do not know the long days between studies and to go out and train in the morning, afternoon or evening, the early hours of weekends to go running to the outskirts of Seoul, and thus has been a sacrifice but I'm happy.

Well as many already know, apart from studying, I'm also preparing to participate for the first time in a Marathon (42.195 km), the marathon in which it will participate JoongAng Seoul Marathon , the second largest in Seoul.

Each week the workouts will become harder and longer, especially on Sundays are the days of long runs.

This last Sunday, I had to run 36K, the truth was a difficult test, and had managed to run up 28K in previous weeks but the 36K were long and endless.

So I prepared myself in the morning to go jogging, I took my backpack with drinks and gels necessary, ipod, glasses, etc. I took a taxi and get to park next to the World Cup Stadium for the great workout.

Well not a win for soccer or something, is simply give the answer when I ask how old? 3-0 years answer.

Three decades of my life, wow have happened in the blink of an eye, but at the same time there have been many but so many things, good and bad, one or another evil thing I have committed, but by taking a short say, damn 30 years well spent! I'm not complaining.

The other day I read the post I wrote while serving 29 years , the truth, I never imagined that my 30s those held in Seoul, but it is interesting that when reading this remember that the most important birthday of life, I have held off home.

My 18's celebrated in Quito, a few weeks of having arrived , my 21 in New York during a stint with the Yankees, the 25 in Quito again, and now 30 in Seoul.

Good preparation for the marathon on November 2, Sunday morning competition will be participating in The Human Race , organized by NIKE worldwide.

In this part one million athletes in 25 world capitals, my number is 0820251, and here in Seoul are enrolled twenty thousand athletes.

In recent days by mail I received the respective T with the chip and the band " Live Strong "and will run in the race for the founding of Lance Armstrong fighting cancer.

It seemed like a good initiative in this race and the support they gave to other institutions as well, because they do not support Lance Armstrong .

I will see that this morning in my opening of skills on the streets of Seoul, unfortunately the equipment supply is not here, ha ha ha.

Many people ask me why I run, because it is not a fad, not just for health or for weight maintenance cost me so much to lose (15 lbs), but rather face me every time I do.

Since returning to resume training for more than a year, very significant for me was the fact finish the race (10 km) inside of me felt an emotion that simply can not describe it, maybe even wanted to mourn for the excitement to end of the competition at that time.

Then came more responsibilities and increasingly gaining more confidence in them, putting even greater challenges in distance and time, yet my thoughts on the course were starting to be clear about why I enjoyed it so much.

Some already know, others have only just found out that since this year I am taking very seriously the issue of training in the morning, to the point that I'm part of an athletic club with which we train all weekdays from 5:00 am.

This weekend as part of my training I had to take a tour of 16 km, honestly I did well and I am happy to know that I'm improving my physique and my time.

I just agreed to free the weekend, work and at the invitation of Rafael Bonifaz and his wife went to the Inn Guachalá , so I do my homework around the estate.

Good start to the week for all, soon I will have photos of fellow Athletic Club, for now enjoy the photos of this weekend trip in the gallery .

After the last race I decided to schedule the rest of the year, so those who want to join me will always be welcome.

• San Gabriel - Carchi 10 km (16 September)

• Huaira Sinchi (2,3,4 November) in the observer go

• Nike 10 km (11 November)

• Media Marathon de Quito 21 km (25 November)

• Quito Iron Man (2 December)

At the moment you are the competencies that will participate, our team may also be a Brian Ingram, who is to be confirmed.

That was the official time I finished the route of Churches 2007 .

It was the first time participating in this competition, a very interesting and fast route, a bit difficult in parts of the large number of participants making it difficult in many places step.

My goal for this competition was to finish in 1 hour, but as you can see the finished almost five minutes less than expected, so I'm gradually improving in time for the Half Marathon in Quito to be on 18 November.

Carchi trip possibly competition from Silvio Guerra by an invitation that I have done, we'll see if the team wants to join me hahaha supply

Thanks to everyone who joined me in the competition last night, really appreciate it

What's my age again - Blink 182: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

I Took her out
It Was a friday night
I Wore cologne
To get the right feeling
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 youre 23
And Are Still amused by tv shows
What the hell is add?
My friends say I act my age Should
Whats my age again?
Whats my age again?
