Nicaragua has truly been one of my most beautiful destinations so far

Nicaragua has truly been one of my most beautiful destinations so far. Super Green, lots of wildlife, beautiful colonial cities, beautiful deserted beaches and relatively few tourists. I would be super happy one more time to go back :-) . Although I have nothing really disliked Nicaragua is one place that is at the top spot with Boca de Sabalos on the Rio San Juan in the South, of the country. There are relatively few people, because it simply is not on the route. In fact it is only on the radar if you're coming in from Costa Rica in the South Nicaragua. And even then you have to have something to talk about ... Boca de Sabalos is in fact only accessible by boat; the fastest does as yet have a tight hour. But believe me, it is so worth it!

Boca 1

Sleep with Yaro.
Outside Boca de Sabalos Sabalos Lodge is located; more than a great place to sleep, relax and just enjoy the river life. Owner Yaro is a codger :-) , but he bends over backwards to give you the time of your life. The lodge consists of about 10 houses on stilts, almost all along the river. Everything inside is made of stuff from nature. Fantastic! You pay about $ 60 per night for a double including 3x dinner daily. Bit more expensive than I would normally choose, but Sabalos Lodge is worth it.

Boca 2

Pull in Indio Maiz Reserve.

A boat ride of 30 minutes from Sabalos Lodge is removed Indio Maiz Reserve; a small, dense and unique piece of rainforest. Do not expect large animals or anything, but you can spot many beautiful birds, frogs and salamanders. And here 's just going to the trek itself. Yaro can arrange an English-speaking guide for you. And tip: pull rain boots, you really drowning in the mud. Yaro has them in all shapes and sizes :-).

Visit to El Castillo.
15 minutes by boat lies the village of El Castillo; Named after the massive fortress high on a hill. The fort is worth visiting just because you have a super nice view over the Rio San Juan. However, the village itself is the real highlight. The colored houses, muddy trails and food smells you really feel like you're in an authentic village. Super nice to walk around a morning and then nibble on tasty on the river rivershrimps for lunch :-) .

Boca 3

Canoeing.
I have no picture of fear of the water, but you can leave a little place on the river by Yaro and his men. Then you bag a canoe back down to Sabalos Lodge. They are really small canoes and the flow can sometimes viciously, so'll do it but not if you do not mind a bit exciting.

Touch wood! But seriously; not suffer injuries, I am always good in my rhythm and even my still hated what interval training run smoothly. Totally fine so so. I'm glad I did say buy new shoes. If I train inside I now use my previous pair and then feel the only difference. He-le-fold stretched and support of charge. Every opportunity I so nice bump from the marathon to keep as much as possible, I did things agreed with myself :-) .

1. Stick to the schedule. If half autistic I obediently follow my schedule. And I mean really brave. I'm doing exactly what I should do on Monday, on schedule and move it then do not go to Tuesday if I do not feel. Must be some kind of superstition, but I just think you have to deviate from your schedule faster the draft gets in there. And we must not, of course :-) .

2. Plans around the workouts . I'm quite a busy guy, not a silent seater. But the training also ask some more time, I plan my other appointments around these courses. Not that I was no longer comfortable shorts do, but only as it suits my training that week. Is better for me.

3 .Doordeweeks NO alcohol. Ok, this sounds like I'm half drunk. Is not so :-) but a glass of wine once in a while I find back panel nice yes. And when we eat pasta during the week, there should be a glass by frequently. Although I've never further bother, I have decided to reduce this and only on weekends to drink a glass. Sin if I getrain it again half to not do by drinking wines right?

4 .Rust, rest, rest.  Hmm, I'm not so good at. Yet I read about all the rest almost the most important part of a marathon preparation. Your body should also get time in between to repair and therefore your appearance occasionally example may also be able to skip a (shorter) training. That 1-2-3'm so not going to, but I try to regularly get some rest.

5. As much as possible running out.  Outdoor running is still where you 'end up doing for, right? I think this season itself ideally to train outside, so long it is not snowing at least. I'm really super slow temperatures above 18 ° C, so give me a nice vrieskou'tje. The interval workouts after I almost always walk outside.
