August, indeed

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

I've just booked my flight to Almeria.

Easyjet out Saturday 26 Jan 2013, back on Tuesday 29th.
I'm not even sure the race is on the 27th, but what little I can find on the interweb suggests this to be the case. The flight was as cheap as a Piers Morgan jibe about athletes not singing the National Anthem.

I may be the only one going next year, but after talking to Jules about it this week (after a lovely gentle jog, during which my calf whined like a badly maintained jet engine) I've decided
a) I'm going and
b) I want a PB

So that's sorted then.

Hmm. A man with a plan. Glaconman will be pleased.

Regarding plans, and thinking ahead, which, er, I suppose plans have to involve.... I am bizarrely committed to getting to the Point to Pinnacle in 2013. Since mentioning this possibility to M about a year ago, she has had it in her diary, and apparently it is happening.

I mention this now because I'm thinking I will need every scrap of holiday available to make such a trip worthwhile, so Almeria may not happen for me next year. Indeed, Almeria hasn't exactly happened for me for some years now, but that's another matter.

This is most excellent news - two men each with a plan. In a similar way, whilst I will be the only RCer going to P2P this year (although you could almost consider Chris a peripheral member) I'm still considering it an RC race, so 2013 will be the third such instalment as RC's "Southern Almeria", and I think if you boys speak to SP about it, he'll assure you that a couple of weeks in Oz will be well worth your while. Happy to play host again too.

Exciting times!
