Well Semana Santa has begun in Granada and we are off out to the many processions, or should I say Conchi and the children although I did get out last night. I will have to try better in taking these photos! 

Having a laugh

I thought I would see if I could embed this short video from my camera onto the blog and I am pleased to say it worked fine. Also I have put a few photos of the picnic we all enjoye dat the weekend.

20 min run and Crystal Palace

Just to keep this up to date I have managed to get out and go for a run, first time since the Malaga half marathon. It has taken that long to recover from it!!! I started off ok and there seems to be a spring in my step, which is a good sign although after about 15 mins I could feel the calves tensing up. As a result I returned home and just managed to survive for 21 mins. Although disappointed I feel very confident that things are going in the right direction and I will go for a run on Sunday, fingers crossed. I am looking forward tonight as Crystal Palace will be on sky and Conchi is letting me go to watch so a rare Friday night out for me, now if I am very luck John is down from Madrid and just maybe he will be allowed to join me. Off course Palace needed to win tonight and the other play off hopefuls need to slip up if we are to get automatic promotion so we shall see.

Malaga Half Marathon

I am pleased to say that I managed to complete the Malaga Half Marathon It was a hugely improved performance from my trip to Lisbon, Portugal in December and I would like to say the finishing picture was much better when I find one! I thought I should check my first result and I finished number 1000 in a time of 2:23:25 and in Malaga the time was 1:59:16 so a huge improvement. I actually quite liked the course it was flat all of the way except for the last 3 km which was quite tough all up hill to the finish and to be honest I had to walk at 20km and now my Achilles is suffering.
