Low performance

In the past week I was give blood. Everything goes fine. I just can't do any sport activity during the 24 hours after it. In the weekend, to days after, I was feeling fine and so I did my first run. It was to be an easy 40 minutes run. 10 minutes after my start, when I begin the first road ascent, I was tired. The remaining run I was so tired that almost have to stop...completely tired. but no, I go to the end very slowly but without need to proceed walking. I never thought that is so difficult to run with a little less blood in the body, but this is a amazing difference! This week will be a couple of easy runs to progressively becomes to the same point I'm before!

Back from holidays

Back from holidays with just a few runs. Today I need to go out and run to burn some extra calories earned during last week. From now on, Tuesday is the day of the week to run with family and some friends: just between 30 and 45 minutes of easy run...At least before start swimming: the 2007 new year resolution!!

Christmas week

This week I'm with a fu, but I must to keep running to prepare the next week: the Christmas week, that means to eat a lot, to many food, to many deserts. But it's Christmas... And if you running a lot you can eat a lot. It's one o the good reasons to explain why people like to run.

Luís Jesus

Luís Jesus (Conforlimpa) won last Sunday the 21ª Lisbon Marathon, Portugal League, that starts and finishes at Terreiro do Paço, with the bad time of 2h21m08. He stops and km 31 and slow down several times until the end of the race with troubles. Nevertheless this time was enough to won the race: he was the only favorite!! Sebastian Panga was the second and Manuel Ferraz the third.At the womens race, Fátima Silva won for the 4 consecutive years with time of 2h40m00, 10 minutes before Dorota Ustianowska.

Wine of the Month Club

I found this site that compiles a lot of lifestyle sites, gourmet sites, or any site with gift giving information. On the front page presents the Wine of the Month Club that is a competitions around wine clubs to be Club of the month. In this site you can order your gift from their selection of wines, with scheduled shipping to you. Special discounts to the club members. Here are the FAQ. If you don't like wine you can choose other club, form a vast list of clubs, for instance, beer club, cookie, club, ice cream club or movie club. I like the wine club :)

Forced rest week

Last weekend and this week until now, I did not run any day, because I have to much work to do. Only yesterday I could ran, I have a small slot of free time, but I was too much sleepy to got out training. I hope I can resume my weekly runs soon... After all the rest periods are also good to recover !

Half-marathon

Soon I will do an half-marathon. I haven't choose yet, but I will look to the Portugal races calendar and choose one. Next I will do some specific training, just the minimum preparation for the race, and so I will start the real scheduled training program to do a fast (for me) half-marathon. I still have the goal of a 1h24m race...
