Almeria Medio Maraton (merged threads)

Rock Bar....

Rock Bar....

Rock Bar....?

Do I know the Rock Bar? Sounds kinda familiar, but I might be thinking of... some other.... Rock Bar....



I'm also happy with a town centre hotel. I like the Tryp Indalo, and it's great value, but it is a bit stranded. Let's try somewhere else.

As for the wager referred to by the great Sweder... yes. Yes, quite so.

I unwisely allowed myself to be goaded and bullied into promising to enter the Zurich Marathon, should Wealdstone lose to Lewes on Saturday. In a scene reminiscent of the closing scenes of The Sting, Sweder fabricated a commentary on the game using Twitter -- the modern day version of Paul Newman's ticker tape. His bogus scenario even had the Stones fluffing an injury time penalty, just to deepen my anguish.

However, I remain too much of a gentleman to question his behaviour, and so I lose the bet.

Which means I'm apparently shooting for Zurich in April. At this point it seems like a pretty ludicrous idea as I don't think my lower limbs will take it, but damn it, let's see how far I get. First target is Almeria, and if do I manage to get that far, I guess I can string it along a bit further. But that's a pretty big "if" at this point. Let's see.

But yes, indeed "yay" to Almeria.
