Week 2

[Antonio247]

Saturday. I left at 10 pm. It was a nice evening after a windy afternoon. I started at Almadrabillas park. There were a few people having a walk or a drink at the bars, cafés and restaurants by the promenade. I even saw two or three runners so late. It took me 16´30´´ to get to the end of the sea front. Then, I went on towards the university going past the petrol station that is at about half a kilometre from the end of the sea front. From there it is very dark since there are no street lamps. I heard the flow of the river under the bridge, which is quite unusual since it is usually dry. Once I got to the bicycle lane it was lit. I went on to the end of the new sea front to the university and a little further to a palm just opposite the university. It took me 40´40´´. It was quite deserted. There were only a few cars. Then, I came back and had a one-minute walk break. When you do the same run at night, it is so different from when it is in the morning or in the afternoon. I felt a little lonely but I liked the experience. There were stars in the sky but I couldn´t see the moon. I had another walk break in minute 60. After going past the petrol station, I saw three young Moroccan immigrants eating “pipas” ( sunflower seeds ). Then, I got to the sea front again where there were still a few people and got to where I had started in 84´45´´doing about 12 kilometres. When I arrived at home, Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid were finishing the match, which Real Madrid won 1-2.
