Did you know that Sunday September 22nd was
World Car-Free Day?! No? Well, here it's just another excuse to exercise, not that they need the excuse as it is a very common theme over here. I inadvertently celebrated along with hundreds of other Cuencanos by running in a 5K. I decided somewhat last minute to run and even showed up at the wrong park minutes before the race was supposed to start. Luckily, a nice couple offered me a ride to the other park where I shuffled my way over to the t-shirt booth, was handed my free t-shirt and proceed to the start line. No per-registration or fee required and even an additional souvenir t-shirt to boot.
I finished the 5K beating my best time ever, and it was the first time running where I didn't notice the altitude! At the finish line there was a stage and a DJ and all the Cuencanos celebrated by dancing in the streets.
