Almería half marathon. 30th January 2006

[Antonio247]

It would be terrible if I had to miss the race this year that the RC team is coming. I was very motivated to prepare it well but I´ve been quite unlucky with injuries and illness. My aim was to finish under two hours since last year I did it in 2 hours 3 minutes but taking into account all that has happened I´d be really glad if I finished without getting injured and under two hours five minutes. What is your goal, Andy?

Vera is a nice place with a beautiful beach. If you like I´d love to take you to Vera on Monday afternoon if you finally decide to stay there. It´s a nice place with a large beach. I worked at a secondary school there for one year long time ago.

A friend of mine and me wanted to do the half marathon last Sunday but we couldn´t do it because of illness. He also had a terrible cold. Probably on Sunday we´ll do the half marathon or the first lap and a half depending on how we feel. I´ll tell you what the course is like after suffering it a little. Anyway, the last three kilometres are a bit uphill - not too hard but after 18 kilometres it could be tough.

By the way, shall I book a restaurant for lunch after the half marathon? Would it be ok at 2.30 pm?

Regards

Antonio
