“La Werita” & “Piloncillo” performed an “Oath of Love” in 2008 during the Relay for Life event. A year later, she accompanied me for the entire 24-hour event. During that time, we had a “rough” training session. We left for the desert early, and we started walking short distances (one way, starting from the airport park, not including leaving home): 1 mile, 5 miles, 9 miles. We covered more and more routes, including breakfasts we prepared the day before; we walked at a steady pace together. There were so many anecdotes, like when we were having breakfast and she saw a deer crossing (I was looking the other way) and she yelled, “A deer.” I jumped with the camera to see if I could “catch” it with a video, but no matter how hard I ran, I didn’t catch it. We also visited Agua Prieta, where we tried different dishes: “Tortas el Rinconcito,” “Tatos Pizza,” “Panaderia Los Pinos,” “AP’a Taco,” “El Pollo Loco,” and “La Palapa.” We took advantage of the opportunity to visit our friends and hike outside of Agua Prieta, all with the goal of training “Werita” for the upcoming 144-hour Ultramarathon and 24-hour RFL. As our first engagement anniversary approached, we had a unique event because it rained a lot, especially at night, and our change of clothes got wet. “Werita” applied all the experience from our training. It was a lot of fun leading the event, which we successfully completed, with the following results: 1. “Werita” completed 24 hours 2. “Piloncillo” completed 112 miles
