The Daily Wonder Routine

A day in Patagonia

7:37 am: Time to wake up*

Frying pan on the stove, plugging the toaster, shower with my girlfriend.

Two scrambled eggs for each. And a chaser glass of water.

Put running shoes on. Goodbye kisses. Headphones on.

Off I go.

7:57 am: Time to run*

The streets are under construction. Since forever. And it doesn´t look like the situation will change in the meantime.

But the 12-kilometer jog is by Nahuel Huapi Lake and the Andean mountains, so everything is okay.

No matter if the sidewalk is narrow, or even non-existent in some stretches and the need to look over your shoulder just to avoid being a transit casualty. There are trees and water, birds and dogs. And other humans doing the same, and smiling during the hustle, just like me. And we nod at each other as a sign of respect and because we know that we are on the same tune: the tune of daily wonder.
