Week 12

[Antonio247]

Summary of week 12 I´ve followed Hal Higdon´s schedule but on Sunday I couldn´t do the cross-training because I had to go to Granada to see an aunt of mine who had to go to hospital due to not feeling well. Finally, she was taken home because she wasn´t too bad. I took my mother and sister in the car. We enjoyed the trip since the landscape is great. You change from the desert of Tabernas to Sierra Nevada with a lot of snow in its mountains and many almond trees in bloom in the plain. Besides, I had some typical cakes from Granada called “piononos”, which are delicious and I bought very good bread ( you´d have liked it, Andy ) made at a village called Dólar, on the way to Granada. Nevertheless, as I went on foot or on bicycle to school and other places I think it can compensate. This week I´ve done twenty kilometres alone, which has been better than I expected. In all, I´ve done 42,5 kilometres. I´ve just noticed that it´s the marathon distance but I´ve done it in four days.

I´ve already booked the hotel for the marathon. I´m staying at Hotel NH Parque de las avenidas. I booked it at a travel agency for 50 euros a double room VAT included. I haven´t entered yet but I´ll do it soon. I´ve read we´ll get a lot of things in the bag: Two T-shirts, a raincoat, sunglasses.
