Almeria Half 2008 - last weekend in January

[Antonio247]

As the day is getting near, I think we could arrange some things.

I´ll pick you up at the airport on Saturday. As this year I won´t be able to take you all in my car, I´ve asked Encarna, who took part in the 10 km race last year and this year is going to take part in the half marathon, to come with her car as well. After picking you up, we could go to the café by the sea where we went last year and have breakfast there. Afterwards, we could go somewhere in the nature for a stroll. Later, we can take you to your hotel. If you feel like having lunch or tapas in the city centre, we could go. Otherwise, we can meet in the afternoon to collect our race numbers, chips, goodie bags and the pasta dinner vouchers. We all could have dinner in the first shift, since you must be tired and then take you to your hotel.

On Sunday, we could meet to go to the stadium together. After the race, we could go to a restaurant to have lunch. I suggest going to Club de Mar, the one we went in 2005 and 2006, since this year the party is bigger and there some fellow runners such as Encarna, Guillermo and his wife or my wife coming as well and I think we´ll feel more comfortable there. I don´t know if Ana, her boyfriend and her boyfriend´s brother will be able to come too. Besides, at last year´s restaurant there are some works in the building and there is scaffolding outside.

I think we could preorder paella for half the people going so that each one has a small plate of paella in order not to get full and we could order some salad and some "raciones" of "fritura" (fried fish), prawns, pisto ( vegetables ) so that we all could try a little of everything. If you prefer something different, please tell me.

On Monday, shall we go to Baños de Sierra Alhamilla to run down to Pechina?


If you have any suggestions, I´d appreciate that you tell me.
