It has been a long time since I last wrote
about running. As you may remember my last
race was the Cursa de la Tardor in Sant Andreu de la Barca and I finished quite
satisfied about it. In the next few weeks there are a lot of popular
races; some of them very important like the Jean Bouin but I don’t like it
because there are too many people.
Before the end of the year I have decided
to take part in the Cros de Sants . For me it is one of the main ones
in the year because I run near home and the
circuit goes through different streets which I am familiar with. I think it is
one of the best races and one of the most important things is that there aren’t too many people.
The Cros of
Sants is on the 30th of November
and I am training hard to be in my best.
This week,since I am not working I am taking
advantage to train a bit harder than usual. However, next week I will have to
reduce a bit the number of kilometres to arrive to the race totally fit.
Another thing I like about this race is that
Jéssica is there to cheer me and she waits for me at the finish lane. This year
it will be more special because my friend Patricia is also training to run it
so I think I will enjoy it more. I am thinking
to run on my own –I am faster than her- or to follow her pace.
The Cross of
Sants, if nothing changes, will be my last race this
year. In 2015 I will start running Cursa Sant Antoni that is also very special
for me because it was the first one I ran. Every year there are more people but I think it is worth it. I will
also run the Half-marathon of Barcelona and depending on the training I will
try to finish under 1h 40 min, something I haven’t been able yet. Last year I
nearly made it, but I exceeded by just a few seconds.
As it happened last year, I still have to think
whether or not to take part in the marathon. This past
edition was very hard because it was very warm and I was glad not to run it. In
a way I feel like trying again despite
it means a lot of effort and big sacrifices. However, I think I am doing a good
job and that I am in the right direction if I finally decide to take part. We
will have to wait and see.
