Slow workout week

Posted on September 6, 2014December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

It has been a slow workout week for me so far. Catching up at work after the Puerto Vallarta vacation has been time-consuming. Amiben took quite a few pictures on our vacation that I will show you over the next few days. This one is of us birding in the highlands just south of Puerto […]

Another eventful day in Garza Blanca, Puerto Vallarta

Posted on August 31, 2014December 27, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

Day 2 at Garza Blanca was dotted with various random activities mostly around the resort. We relaxed by the negative-edge pool, ate a few tacos, chips and quesadillas with fresh guac, veggies, queso, etc. and had a few mango margaritas on the rocks with lots of salt on the rim. We walked around in the […]

Off to Puerto Vallarta – long and eventful day

Posted on August 30, 2014December 27, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

Our flight to Puerto Vallarta departed promptly at 9AM. We were all up early doing last-minute packing, feeding the pups and doing this-and-that before driving to the airport.

Ironman Los Cabos is tomorrow

Posted on March 30, 2014December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

My back still hurts. As planned, I went for a 2-mile jog this morning only to realize that if I run faster than a 9-minute-per-mile pace, my back hurts more. At least I can run a bit. It will be a long, slow day, but I am in to race tomorrow. It was a rushed […]

No…..not my back!

Posted on March 28, 2014December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

Of all the injuries that I could sustain while running for 20+ miles and biking for 90+ miles and swimming for 4,000+ meters, a small calf injury is not that bad. It has almost healed and I was feeling quite optimistic this morning when Binita dropped me off at the airport. That’s when things started […]
