On Sunday, November 6, 10,000 people gathered in Miraflores to run Nike's annual "We Run Lima" 10K. I went with Natalie, Kari, our friend, Jessica, and 3 gringa teachers from La Molina Christian School to run my first ever 10K. I was slightly overwhelmed by the amount of people and as it turns out, many people in Lima run like they drive: reckless and disorganized, which made for a lot of swerving and weaving in an attempt to avoid running into people. The first 7-ish kilometers were doable, but the last 3 were rough. I ran so slowly it's too embarassing to post my time, but I was much more concerned about finishing in one piece. I will worry about time the next time around.
