Granada half marathon. 22nd October 2006

That's a great picture of the finish - everybody should finish a half marathon looking that happy!

When I saw you near the end you were both breathing hardish, but still talking...?

I think we were lucky that it was such a lovely day, since it had rained a bit on the days leading up to the run and has rained such a lot since (Sweder - we're talking torrential rain. Rivers running down the streets in some areas. That may be partly down to the fact the drainage systems in certain parts are in need of an updgrade...)

Personally I wish they'd take the route around some of the nicer parts of town - Granada is beautiful but that route isn't always. I know it'd probably be logistically impossible and would introduce some really tough hills (I'd like it to go up past the alhambra and onto the llano de perdiz), but the views would make it a really special half marathon.

Hope to see you soon (Almeria half?)
