Madrid minus 13 weeks (I think)

[Riazor Blue]

Funny you should mention lacón con grelos.... She's never done them before for me. For you guys who don't know , grelos are the leaves of turnips, a very popular vegetable in Galicia, lacon is a cut of pork, add to that boiled beef, potatoes, chick peas and chorizos (spicy red sausages) and you have a laconada. Now while this may not sound very exotic or very Spanish, it's traditional winter food in Galicia and tastes superb.

Yesterday I ran my long one, along the seafront, as I didn't have time to search out the route in Pontedueme. Actually it wasn't very long, my long run, but it was slow. After about 11km I could feel my hamstring tightening so I thought it best not to continue.

Today, given the hamstring situation I thought it best to relax and take things easy.

I weighed myself today at the in-laws, I don't have a set of scales at home, 83.6Kg, I think thats 1/2 a kilo more than last week. That may be the lacon from today, or perhaps last wednesday's toblerone.

Adding up my totals for this week, Monday to Sunday, I've only done 33Km. Just as well I've got 12 more weeks to train.
