23 JUN 2024 · My recovery trail run covered a distance of 7.20 km with an elevation gain of 232 meters, taking a total time of 1 hour and 7 minutes. The route started at Irvine and wound through lush, green forested areas, as evident from the trail map. Along the way, Carlos maintained an average cadence of 58 steps per minute. The run took me to the summit, rewarding me with a great view and the sight of a hollow, moss-covered tree trunk, indicating the natural beauty of the trail. This run was a moderate effort on challenging terrain, suitable for both physical recovery and mental rejuvenation.

17 JUN 2024 · Hello everybody, Carlos here doing a summit run for the extra milers out there. Hey Siri, set a three-minute timer please. As promised, this is my three-minute submission for the Extra Mile Podcast group on Facebook. I hope you guys are all planning your recording sessions.

11 MAY 2024 · Allen and I embarked on a run from our pre-arranged meeting spot at the Roman Church in Pollença. Setting off for 30 minutes out, we covered a distance of 6.92 km with an average heart rate of 129. Upon our return to the church after an hour, including walk breaks and conversations with Norma, we reflected on the route. As we relaxed on a nearby wall, Allen shared his detour home, explaining that he ventured off to find a restroom. Surprisingly, he returned ahead of me, having taken a different path that led him to Colonia. We compared distances and discussed the varied terrain, noting the flat stretches and occasional hills. Despite my initial assumption that Allen would be trailing behind us, he had unknowingly taken the lead, reaching the destination well before us. As we chatted, we observed local scenes, including a man herding sheep up a hill, adding a touch of local flavor to our run. Reflecting on our adventure, we bid farewell from Pollença, amused by the sight of a dog pulling its owner uphill.

16 MAR 2024 · So, I've reached the spot where they're preparing for the salmon carcass toss. Planning to swing by on my way back to catch it at around 10:00. Currently halfway through burning 600 calories, so I'll start heading back now from Garyoke Meadows. As I jog back, I pass the famous Crossing of Cordova Bay Road, aiming to witness the annual salmon toss event. It's just a few minutes before 10:00, and I hope to record some audio descriptions of the proceedings. Some people have set up a tent nearby, and I quickly grab my voice recorder to capture the scene. The bridge is where they'll be tossing the salmon into the creek, but it's a bit crowded, and I might have enough material already. Despite missing out on what could be an interesting session with the kids, I decide to continue my run. This is the Running Jackal, signing off for now, potentially missing out on the action but enjoying the jog nonetheless.
