Tuesday 27 January.
I didn't sleep very well last night my legs were a bit sore after the walk yesterday. That still didn't stop me going for a run this morning. I stretched as usual to try and get the circulation going in my legs and set off at my usual time. I wanted to run out to the esplanade at Alcala where we walked to on Sunday. I decided to take the road out to the village and come back by the coastal track. I took it easy through the town, my legs were still feeling stiff and my knees sore. On the main road to Alcala there was a dirt section at the side of the busy road with a well trodden path. It was slightly downhill and I was able to pick up the pace slightly. When I got to Alcala I noticed a cycle track and followed it down the hill and it took me to the sea front and the promenade. I now knew where I was and started to head back. My legs and knees were feeling much better and I was able to step up the pace a bit more on the way back, especially on the hills which I went up easily. My time for this route was 65:54 minutes, it must be close to 11km. I stretched again beside the pool then upstairs for my breakfast.
After breakfast Moira went out for an hour to do some shopping, I stayed in and read the newspaper. When she returned I got ready and headed for a session at the gym. The weather was lovely again as I walked there, the sky bright blue and it was getting very warm. Just before getting to the gym I checked out the route where we had come down the stairs from the contour road yesterday. It came to an end just on the other side of the sports fields next to the school, only a short distance from where I was standing but there was no way through because of fencing and a deep gully.
At the gym I concentrated for a half an hour on my abs doing various exercises to strengthen these muscles. For the rest of the session I worked on my upper body; chest, lats and shoulders. I finished at mid-day and then strolled back on time for lunch. In the afternoon I read the newspaper, did the crossword and updated my blog. I sat outside on the veranda at first but I found it too hot and came inside to the cooler lounge.
After early the evening quizzes there wasn't anything to watch until the second part of 'Silent Witness' later. After dinner, we had a rabbit stew tonight, I turned off the TV and we both read until 9pm when 'Silent Witness' came on. Moira went to bed to read, she wasn't interested in the programme. I should have done the same and spent the time reading as it wasn't very good and difficult to follow.
