Objective : Valencia half marathon

[Antonio247]

This morning I went for a run at 11 am. I started at the esplanade. It was a beautiful sunny morning. 24º Celsius. I went towards the port, along Nicolás Salmerón park. Then I went up avenida del Mar to reach the Alcazaba where at the gate there was a group of elderly people listening to the guide who was telling them that Almería comes from the Arabic word Almariya which means “The mirror”. He added that it was known as the sea mirror. After that, I went down calle Real where another group of elderly tourists was going down towards the cathedral. I reached the park again and got to the esplanade. As I felt all right, I continued as far as the sea the beginning of the sea front and came back to the esplanade where I did some stretching and some abdominal workout. I all, I did around five kilometres in around 40 minutes. I didn´t wear my stopwatch because a strap had broken so I don´t know the exact time. I liked the experience of running without knowing the time or pace.
