I went hiking almost every single weekend and felt in better shape than ever. I&#8217;ve started writing some notes about my hikes in an attempt to plan them better; I don&#8217;t think this stuff is very useful to anyone but me, but here it is anyway:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/195124\/hiking-notes.html\">Nacho&#8217;s Hiking Notes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This summer I went to Spain and stayed there 5 weeks, much longer than usual. My grandmother died unexpectedly and it was good to be able to spend some more time with my family. When I got back I realized how lonely I am here in the US, how superficial are all my relationships.<\/p>\n<p>I tried to stay in shape while abroad, but there&#8217;s nothing like the DAM workouts. I was flirting with lane 5 when I left and I&#8217;m now back to lane 3 again. The first two weeks have been excruciating, but I&#8217;m getting back into my routine and hopefully I&#8217;ll make my way up again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have noticed my blog has been down during the last few months.
