Week 14

Hello, everybody

Thanks a lot for your support and encouragement.

Andy, I´m glad you enjoyed your ran yesterday. If I could go to Bramley, I´d tell you but, unfortunately, it´s really unlikely. Yes, I´ll take some days of rest, especially because my legs are still a bit stiff. Tomorrow, I´ll probably go on the bicycle a little in the afternoon and on Thursday I´m going to my phisiotherapist again to have a post half marathon massage.

Liz, how are you doing with your training? Are you feeling better? I hope you can run London marathon. It must be a great experience. Next year it will be my aim if I finish Madrid marathon this year and I want to repeat the experience. I hope so since once you start, you need to do it again at least once a year.

Brian ( Riazor Blue ), congratulations on Viana do Castelo half. I wish I could get to your level. I´m glad you liked this website. I think the atmosphere here is fantastic. It´s wonderful to be able to share your training diary. I´m sure that it´ll be more interesting than mine and we all will learn a lot.

Nigel, I think that to avoid floods the Rambla was canalized though other underground canals. Nevertheless, it doesn´t rain much lately but you´re right it can rain cats and dogs ( llueve a cántaros ) as we say in Spanish.

The Spanish athletes were Manuel Pancorbo and Francisco Sánchez Vargas. They´re from Andalusia and got some important awards.

I agree with you, Nigel. There have been very good runners from Spain ,especially in middle and long-distance, such as those you have mentioned or Martiz Fiz. By the way, he organizes a marahon in his home town, Vitoria, in April.

Well, good luck, everybody and thank you very much for your support and encouragement.
