Toral de los Vados 2007. The training starts today.

Andy - It's true, you are either Young's or Fullers. I like both but I have too many bad memories of Young's defying gravity when I was but a lad. Fullers always seemed to stay where I put it.
In my parent's road in Croydon there is a tiny little pub called The Royal Standard which has been South London pub of the year countless times. It's Fuller's and the beer is excellent, whoever the Publican - probably my love of London Pride stems from there.

Sampedro - The dog's Bollocks is in Paseo de los Puentes. It's not very English but it's a nice enough bar. Sadly, the owner(s) who had been friends since they were little kids ended up having an argument over the bar and haven't spoken to eachother for over a year. We'll have to have a pint when they get it on tap (it'll be keg - but will still be damned good).

MLCM - you haven't seen me in person, I'm not inspiring at all. For inspiring, take a look at yourself, Andy, Sweder, John, Antonio and the rest on this site. I just wish I could write as well as Andy, Nigel, bierzo Baggie and Sweder (and perhaps run as well as Sampedro).

The running is going well apart from the fact that I am miserably slooow compared to two years ago. I'm comforted by the fact that all I'm doing at the moment is slow and steady at 75% max heart rate. Can't wait for Tuesday week when the speed stuff starts.
