Ah yes, Connemara. Sorry, that had slipped my mind.

Eh? You have been busy
Of course, Almeria is very much on my radar too. I'm hoping to tag on a few days (usual flight issues permitting) for an Ultra training camp in Cabo de Gata. The race will be a training run (no, really, it will this time) possibly to pace someone to a sub 2 hour half, possibly not. I'm not planning on hanging onto Ladyrunner's skirt-tails again next next year - damn near killed me last time.

The training camp thing occured to me this time around when I was staggering around the coastal trails after Simon. Oh, and if that plan does bear fruit I'll be drinking a fair bit less post-race. Ahem.

Will have to make a call about Connemara a bit nearer the time.

Well running or not I'm not going without you. You can bloody well cycle along with a loud hailer and bark at me for seven hours until I break down weeping or finish the damn race.

Congratulations, S. You seem to be quite fit. Unfortunaltely, I haven´t done much since Connemara.

It would be great if you all could come to Almería half marathon. It would be my tenth consecutive half, so I´d also love to go for a sub 2 hour but I´d have to train a lot.

I imagine it will be on the last Sunday of January as usual. As soon as I can confirm it, I´ll get you know. By the way, I´ve seen there is a flight with Easyjet from Gatwick to Almería on Saturday and another flight back on Wednesday. So, if you could stay until Wednesday instead of Tuesday, you wouldn´t have to go to Málaga or Murcia.

What sort of training camp would you like to do at Cabo de Gata natural park?

Well, have a good time in Brazil.
