New objective : Almería half marathon

[Antonio247]

Sunday 18th January 2009

I left from carretera de Sierra Alhamilla at 9:15 am. I got to the bridge at avenida del Mediterráneo and went up and down the bridge to get to carretera de Níjar just opposite hotel Tryp Indalo in 15´50´´. Then, I went down the avenue again but turned at avenida del Perú to get to the half marathon start line just by the stadium in 26´30´´. In two weeks´ time, I´ll be there to do my eighth consecutive half marathon in my home town. There, I saw the Atlético de Madrid coach without any players since they are playing UD Almería today at 9 pm. I followed the blue arrow gong down along camino de la Goleta and carretera de Sierra Alhamilla to reach my starting point in 43 minutes. Then, I continued four minutes at Almadrabillas esplanade. Afterwards, I did some stretching while I could see people having “churros” at an open air café at the esplanade. It was a nice sunny morning. I went a bit faster than usual feeling all right. It is the first week in many that I´ve managed to go for a run four days.
