Almería half marathon. 30th January 2006

[El Gordo]

I thought you might have been making excuses for not doing the race there for a minute, Antonio....

My preparation has got a bit better this week too. I had a decent 10 miler last Sunday, and have managed 3 x 4.5 (approx) midweek runs, two of them relatively fast by my normal standards. Tomorrow I'm planning on 12 or 13 miles, and with another 3 good runs next week, should be in a reasonable frame of mind for the race.

What sort of time did you say you were hoping for in the race, Antonio?

Not long to go now. We are finally starting to get excited about the trip. My wife has a friend staying up the coast at a place called Vera, so we might hire a car and try to get over there at some point.

Thanks for the pictures - it's good to put a face to the name at last.

Cheers

Andy
