Objective : Valencia half marathon
I left from carretera de Sierra Alhamilla at 7:15 a.m. I went along that road and took Avenida del Mediterráneo bridge to go uphill along that avenue. I crossed carretera de Níjar and passed along Hotel Tryp Indalo. I reached the roundabout just opposite Hotel Husa Fama where I stopped to do some stretching. It took me 23´30´´ to do 3.3 km. It was a nice morning with few people in the streets. The temperature was 14º Celsius.
After stretching, I went down and got to carretera de Sierra Alhamilla in 23 minutes. I crossed avenida Cabo de Gata to reach the Almadrabilla splanade and continued as far as the beginning of the sea front where I saw some people walking and doing sport. I stopped after 29 minutes and did some more stretching and some abdominals.
8th November
On Saturday morning I dedided to go to the actividades náuticas gym near my flat. There were four men inside. I did some stretching, strength and abdominal workout. As I was wearing the 10 km Puerto de Almería T- shirt, one of the men, Emilio, asked me about that race that he had taken part in 2007. I told him that that club is going to organise another race in Adra and the Almería San Silvestre for the first time. He told me that he is going to take part at Almería half next year. His friend Manolo told me that he has taken part at Ronda 101 km race several years. This is a very interesting race in the province of Málaga. The atmosphere is really good. It was very nice to talk to Emilio and Manolo.
I hadn´t been to a gym for several years. I liked the experience since you can use muscles that you aren´t used to. I should go at least once a week.
