Well sometimes Africa and Conchita do like each other, and this is one of those few occasions!!

Photo with Albert Einstein!

This is probably one on my favorite photos of Africa and her friends when the came over to visit us.

Here they are sitting next to Albert Einstein and the Science park in Granada.

Which reminds me I need to organise a visit to see the Titanic exhibition.

To be honest this was a test to find a better way to post photos onto wordpress now that I have changed over from blogger.

So fingers crossed it comes out ok at the other end

Granada Half Marathon

Just thought that I would look at what time I did for the half Marathon in Granada, I was pleased to see that I did manage to finish in 1:58 compared to the 1:59 in Malaga.

So although I was a little disappointed at least it was quicker.

Media Maraton Granada 2006

Granada media Marathon 2006

Well I managed to finish the half marathon in Granada and again it was tough I am just can not handle anything over 800 meters. Still I did manage to finish and this time for the first time I started and finished without stopping. The time was a poor 1 hour 58 minutes but I have struggled to train this summer with varrious injuries.
The photo’s are by a new programme by Google/Picassa where you can post an album, a nice idea.

Granada Marathon and Notes In Spanish

Well I know it has been some time since I wrote something here but I did warn you all that it may be a while, partly because my other blog for recruitment www.recruitment-views.com takes up most of my spare time these days.

So just to keep you up dated summer feels as though it is finally over with the first rains this week, saying that it is still relatively warm. I hope it stays cool for Sunday as I will be doing the Granada half marathon. To be honest I am nervous as last Sunday I had a good run for over an hour and a half but yesterday, I did a shorter run for an hour and it was very labored so lets see what state I finish in.

Also I went with Rocket Spanish in the end but after a week I knew it wasn’t for me, there was nothing wrong with the course it was just that it is from beginners so it just didn’t keep my attention.Also I was impressed with the speed they refunded my payment you just never know these days. Afterwards I came across www.notesinspanish.com which is excellent and free, always a positive. More importantly their discussions are interesting and I do feel an affinity with Ben as he is also married to a Spaniard Marina with some of the banter I can relate to.

Also I haven’t taken too many photos recently but last week we went to a wedding of a work colleague of Conchi’s, we had a great time, and for me I actually had a decent conversation with a few of the non English speaking guests.

Fingers crossed I will have a decent pic of me in the Marathon..
