Objective : Valencia half marathon
8th September 2008
On Monday I didn´t do any sport, just walk to school and back around 5 km. Before having an apple for breakfast, I weighed myself. The bathroom scales showed 88 kg, that is, one kilo less than the previous Monday.
9th September
I went for a run at 9 pm. I started at the Almadrabilllas esplanade and went along the sea front. It was crowded. There were a lot of people strolling, some running and a few riding on bicycle. It took me 17´20´´ to reach the end of the sea front which is around 2.5 km long. When I was coming back, I met a former colleague from my previous school who was also running, so I decided to go back with him for about 300 metres and back towards the espalanade and Nicolás Salmerón park. He´s a Natural Science teacher and his name is José Vicente. It was great to run with him since it is more interesting to run with more people. We talked about the way he likes running, which is going too fast, which makes him get tired soon. I advised him to go more slowly so that he could run further. When we got to the park, just opposite the port, I went back to the esplanade although I decided to stop at Club de Mar since I had some discomfort in my right calf. I stretched at the Almadrabillas park and put some ice on the calf at home and some cold water in the shower.
