Weather
I didn’t pay too much attention to the forecast. It was
decent weather for my morning run. Early afternoon there was a heavy downpour
and a clap or two of thunder. It didn’t last long.
I woke up early and went down for breakfast at about 07:20.
I had scrambled egg on toast with some bacon. I returned to my room and decided
to go for my morning run. It was about 10:00 by the time I was ready to go. I
did a workout that was scheduled for me on my Greg McMillan 10K program. I ran
to Montesilvano centro and did a rectangular figure of 8. When I got back I was
going to go for a swim. There was a few claps of thunder and heavy rain. I had
a snooze instead and went for a swim once it had brightened up. Once I had
warmed up, I did a 5 minutes continuous swim. This was clocked as a “drill”.
In the evening I went to Civico 01 and had a baked cheese
starter with nduja (a spicy salami/pate starter with rocket. I then had arosticini
and french fries and roasted vegetables. I had 1400 ml of beer. I had a packet
of crisps. I had cheesecake and a cappuccino. A portion of bread comes with the
meal.
I met Sean McMullin, an Irish Race Walker and his wife at
Civico 01. He was chatting about Pat Murphy, another race walker who has had a
stroke.
