Almería half marathon. 30th January 2006

[Antonio247]

A very good diet to get carbohydrates, Andy, but we shouldn´t forget some fruit such as mandarins, oranges, apples and so on in order to compensate the extra pounds we´ll gain if we stick to that diet. Although as we are going to exercise a lot, we´ll burn a little fat, too.

I´ll tell you what I have in mind for the weekend in Almería. If there´s something you´d like to do or you prefer doing another thing, don´t hesitate to say.

Saturday afternoon

I´ll pick you up at the airport to take you to your hotel.

At about 6.00 pm "Merienda" ( Tea ) - We can have chocolate and churros, coffee, tea, cocoa milk and bums, toast whatever you like.

Later. A walk in the city centre to digest the "merienda".
