7th September

At eight am I arrived at the Almadrabillas esplanade. There were already people walking like Mª José, a former teacher at my school already retired, or doing sport. Today I decided to go west. I went toward the port, Nicolás Salmerón park, which I like because you can run on a dirt track, and I got to Pescadería neighbourhood where my new school, IES Galileo, is. From there I went to the fishing port with little boats and the smell of prawns and got to a hidden beach called “playa de las olas” where I could see some anglers and divers. It took me 28 minutes. Then, I did some stretching and went up a hill to come back along a lane by the road to reach the park again and the esplanade in 26 minutes. In all, 54 minutes. As I felt all right, I decided to complete the hour by going to the sea front and come back to the esplanade. The distance around 7 kilometre. Then, I did some stretching. It was a beautiful summer day. The temperature around 25º Celsius and no wind.

This first week has been better than I thought since I hadn´t trained four days a week for a long time. Besides, I rode on bicycle one day. To sum up, four days – 22 km. Cross training – one day – riding on bicycle one hour, 18 km.


1-7 september 08 RUNNING CROSS-TRAINING
4 km + 5 km + 5km + 8 km Bicycle – one hour 18 km Feeling all right.
