XIX Medio maratón de Almería

[El Gordo]

Thanks for the date info, Antonio. Best not book any airline tickets just yet.

Mentioning my foot sounded rather too much like getting my excuses in (very) early but seriously, it's been a pain. Bah, I've been all aches and pains in the last 12 months. I'm pretty sure that 90% of my troubles are down to me drifting towards SP territory in terms of bulk. So that's the starting point. I've never managed to get down to the 180 pound mark that's supposed to be my "healthy weight", and I probably never will --but there's no excuse for being 50 over the limit. Dissolving 30 of those lovely English pounds would solve a whole variety of current difficulties, so here we go. My two sisters have, between them, in the last year, lost around (wait for it) 170 pounds, or 77 kilos. So I can't blame family genes.

Of course, the British contingent may be banned from Spain by next January. Let's see how the referendum pans out.

Crikey, I can feel a blog post coming on. But I wouldn't run over there just yet.
