Vuelta de La Ria - Betanzos 1/2 30/5/04

[Riazor Blue]

So that's it then. I will be helping out in the start/finish area on Sunday. I reckon it's the most sensible thing to do anyway. I got the call yesterday that they would like me to help and that made up my mind.

This morning I donned the nike storm pegasus and drove up to la torre de hercules. It was the first time in over 3 months that I have run off road. It was very pleasant, I only ran for 40 minutes, I suppose around 7.5 km. The area around the lighthouse has been kept as a park and there are lots of little pathways to follow, so although from one end to the other the park is about 1 kilometer and halk a km maximum at it's widest, one can do 2 or 3 laps using different paths all the time.

There are still plenty of runners around in La Coruña. i don't think that too many are off to Madrid this weekend. There is a half mara in Porriño where some friends live this weekend and perhaps more are training for that. Last weekend Valladolid played Deportivo in La Coruña and on Saturday I think I must have seen about 10 or so of their supporters out running. Of course Valladolid is much closer to Madrid than here.
