This year, perhaps you'll consider getting our of your jammies earlier and joining me and OH on the front for a coffee/tea/beer and a snack. It'll just be the three of us... and the ocean... and the sun... think about it!  We could simply soak it up, have a natter, and take a few pics for the forum.  Then I will go home for a shower!

Wow, the Dorada moment without the running!  The best of both worlds  :D  Give me a nudge nearer the time  :tiphat:

Myrtle, I ask just because I want to be sure I posted correctly ..... isn't the 10.8 the half marathon, with the longer one the full marathon (it's just shy of 22km) ....  :undecided:

A full marathon is 42.2km (26.2 miles) so a half marathon is 21.1km (13.1 miles).  Normal race distances are 5km, 10km, 15km, 21.1km, 42.2km.  The reason the Las Galletas race is 10.8 is because it is a two lapper, so for convenience (not mine) they extended the 10k to 10.8.

I'm slightly confused by that remark Myrtle. I would have thought that if someone wanted to get fit to whatever degree, Tenerife would be a gift. A person can swim, walk or run all for free.

Unlike here where, up until today, I haven't been able to get out for a walk for the last 18 days because of the weather.

It is a gift.  But Mrs Smarty Pants here didn't reckon on the hills.   There's no flat.  But I agree with you, I'd rather be in this position than not to be able to get out of the house.

Right now there are nearly 300 entered in the 21 and almost 100 in the 10.8k.  Christ I am in danger of coming last.  If you have any unfit friends, please try to convince them to do the short run so maybe one of them will finish after I do.

I'm available for the price of a plane fare.  :toothygrin:

I couldn't even run downstairs to share that Dorada moment with you!  I shall walk, serenely  ;)

The streets are scattered with signs warning of road closures for the marathon (literally, in this wind  :D )
