5 Weeks Left.
Here we are on Wednesday. My mini taper for the Vig-Bay half on Sunday hasn't quite gone to plan, but I'm aiming to rectify that in the coming days.
Monday - enforced rest day, due to lots of other things happening.
Tuesday - enforced rest day, due to lots of other things happening.
Wednesday - enforced re... no, no, no... I managed to slip a sneaky 8km in this morning along the esplanade. They say that for the most benefit, one shouldn't just do easy stuff while tapering, so the idea for this morning was 8km at 10km pace, more or less. Well, 34'55".
400 metre series tomorrow I hope, 10km easy on Friday and a day off on Saturday. That's the idea, let's see if it's effective.
In the few spare moments I have no, I've just booked my hotel for Madrid. It's a bit far out, near the Bullring. 80 per night for a double, the same for a single, I'm still hoping that the girlfriend can get the Saturday off work. It's called the Rafaelhoteles Ventas.
I checked last night on the MAPOMA wbsite and I'm finally registered as entered. I was getting worried that the sports shop had not sent off my free adidas entry form. I think that if one still has not entered by 1st April, the price goes up to something like 80 or more - I didn't want to be paying that.
On a sad note.... Poor old Deportivo. Things look tough now. Who am I kidding? It's next to impossible to qualify now. How are we going to win 3-0 against Milan? Impossible.
Crystal Palace are still in with a shout of the playoffs though.
