    Should be great. The weather in Spain will be much better suited to running in October than it was in Mallorca in July. Have a fantastic time. :beer:

    We are going to Alicante in spain - well nearby anyway, just down the coast - the whole trip was £200 :D

    We've got a huge villa and just the two of us - so a week of running, drinking and eating is in order me thinks!!! (oh and maybe a few other things as well :p)

    A running weekend!!! Wow go you!

    Ooh, we're off there too at the end of September. Back October 2nd, though.

    Becky, thanks for the idea of RP for hills. Don't know why I never thought of that. Certainly will be more scenic than Crystal Palace :)

    Hmph! Well I don't see any statues of dinosaurs in Richmond Park. So there! :p

    Some good running going on once more and some great distances from some people.

    12:34:56 7/8/9 today as well rich :)

    E.C. I get pain sometimes from an old ankle injury - generally on longer runs but it goes away after the run. Suspect it is just the joint adjusting. And there will be scar tissue in there that is not as good at adapting as the proper ligament/tendons.

    I have run this week though I managed to got some kind of bug on Wednesday which limited my run yesterday and might impact the long run yet - more cos I'm not eating and drinking enough for energy and hydration. Ran the 4.25m in a tedious little loop so I could bail out easily - I know why I don't like lots of laps of things now!

    Tuesday: 6 miles in 57:38 (9:35/pace)
    Thursday: 4.25 miles in 44:09 (10:23/pace)

    Total for the week = 16:45 miles

    and 09:09:09 09/09/09 next month....they just keep coming!

    Phew that was a close call for you there, Beer Tins. That Becky would have had you out running at the crack of dawn every morning if you'd been in the same town at the same time!:p

    Yes, I've had my wisdom tooth pulled and my crown done (way too young for that really!).

    Job's going very well, it's picking up momentum a lot earlier than I expected.

    I'll be doing evening runs on holiday as well I think. Lie ins are the order of the day.

    We're actually flying in to Barcelona, where we'll stay a few days. Then we're hiring a car and moving down the coast via Valencia and a few other places. We'll finally end up at Mrs. beer tins parent's place outside Alicante. 2 weeks in all. We go there quite a bit (it's the Costa Blanca, BTW!) it's very credit crunch if your accommodation's free! Food/drink is still fairly cheap.

    Well its £99 for a very nice 7-bed villa for the week and a little less than that for flights for two, so as Becky says £200 for a week for 2 all sorted.:D:D:D

    Glad the food's cheap, thats a bonus!
