Week 3

[Antonio247]

Saturday. I coudn´t go out for a run yesterday because it was raining all day long. This morning it was raining again but I left at 11.30 when it was just drizzling. I started at Almadrabillas park. I went along the sea promenade getting to the end of it in only 14´8´´, which is the fastest time I´ve done it. It´s not bad taking into account my level and the wet surface. It must be 2.5 km long. It started to rain more heavily although a few minutes later it stopped. It is good to run in the rain since we don´t know what the weather will be like in Madrid on 25th April. It may be hot, cold, rainy. The Spanish proverb says “En abril, aguas mil”, which could be translated literally as “In April, waters thousand”. There, it is likely to have some rain in April. In fact, here in Almería where it doesn´t rain much, every Easter there are one or two rainy days so that some processions have to be put off or suspended. After getting to the end of Almería sea front, I continued towards Costacabana, getting to the palm tree just opposite the university in 37´ 20´´. Then, I continued towards Costacabana, which is near the airport. By the way, I saw the plane to Birmingham and the one to London taking off. Then, I got to the beginning of Costacabana sea front in around 48 minutes, completing until minute 50 and doing around 7,5 kms. I felt quite well so I tried to run a little faster than my marathon pace. I came back by car since Carmen and Víctor were waiting for me at Costacabana sea promenade.
