Guess who just got back today...

"...Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away,

Haven't changed, had much to say,

But man, i still think them cats are crazy.

They were askin' if you were around,

How you was, where you could be found.

Told them you were livin' downtown,

Drivin' all the old men crazy..."

So, I'm back from Barcelona. It was a great extended weekend, just what I needed. And, yes, I tried to run Friday morning, it went ok, I'm not going to go into all the details, lets just say I was in a lot of pain and walking worked out better than running. And boy did I walk. All I did was walk, all over the place, at least 6 hours each day. The city is beautiful, great architecture and such a fun and light feeling of summer and vacation. I had no phone, no watch and no one to have to answer to. I was able to do what I wanted, when I wanted and how I wanted. I saw museums, nice parks, sports stadiums, the beach and of course the Port. At the end of every day I sat on the boardwalk by the marina and watched the water and the sailboats and the people passing. I finished the book I was reading, Anthony Keidis's autobiography Scar Tissue, did some shopping, got lost alot. Great vacation.

I was gone for all of 4 days. Never have I had so many messages as I did when I got back. Either people just didn't care that I was away and called anyway or weren't listening when I told them I was out of the Country for the weekend... It was if the world was coming to an end and I was missing it. Anyway, I'm back and everyone is a lot calmer, life can go on now.

I took lots of pictures, if you want to see them I'll email a link, I am not in the mood to upload any to the blog, maybe next week.

Back to training...

The marathon is in 4 months!!!!!! I have to really buckle down now. I have the number of some guy who will help me make a schedule for myself which is easier than copying what's written in the Runner's World magazines since its something that, hopefully, I'll understand. Danielle, where are you???? Who am I going to run with? Now that I got used to running with someone, its hard to go back to running solo.

Today is a treadmill day. 1 hour workout.

Have a great weekend!

(Too bad I'm not in Europe anymore...)
