After the long hot summer, when there never seems to be a cool enough moment of the day to go for a run, I finally got back into it. Although it’s still hot!
Two days training (3km run and a 5km) prepared me for the II Carrera de Real Madrid in Alhaurin de la Torre.
5km through the town centre. My time was 35:38.

This is my second time taking part in this race. I beat my time from last year, not accidents or aches afterwards… so it was a total success!

Hope to be able to take part again next year, perhaps even do the 10km run!
