Weather
San Sebastián – we had some overnight rain then some
light drizzle in the morning. It was warm drizzle.
I was happy in my Cardiff 5K technical “T” shirt when I
emerged in the morning to do the Gosaria 7K breakfast run.
I had a decent night’s sleep and my body battery was well
charged. However, I was very stiff and sore when I woke up and when I ventured
out I decided that I needed to go back to Almeda and take some Paracetamol and
Ibuprofen. I did a lot of stretching before the start of the run and that
helped. The run was in a group doing 10 mm. I coped with it OK. We had a pause
at half way by the w ind sculpture for group photos. I ran back with Chris
Taggart (from Teddington), the conversation helped to pass the metres by. After
the run I had coffee and pain au chocolate (free). Then I collected my Marathon
race number and “T” Shirt.
I had a late breakfast at Bar Maiatza, I had two English
Teas with my Bacon Focaccia, I also had my meds. I walked for about 1000 metres
to help my digestion. I returned to the Pension and had a snooze for an hour. I
checked the football scores on my way to Juantxo Taberna where I had my
medications, albondigas and a coke zero. I walked around the town hall to check
the lie of the land for tomorrow morning and I had a coffee (para llevar) at
the modern coffee shop just round the corner from the pension.
