And then there were 2!!!

Due to Carolyn's calf and Jim sunning himself in Spain the fantastic 4 ended up as a fab 2 this week.  However in an attempt to feel included Jim emailed over his blog contribution from sunny Spain.......

And then there were two.  We started as the Fantastic Sub Four, became
the 3 Amigos and now it's down to the Dynamic Duo, Sandra and Sean.
This week, as the marathons draw near, the FS4 are completing their
training albeit in their own way, Sandra and Sean keeping the team
together, Carolyn, yes, she's doing her own thing and me swanning off
to Spain for the weekend.
I've planned my weekend around a 13 mile run i.e get it over and done
with and enjoy the food and wine.
Rising early on Friday morning, I set off in the dark (just like our
winter runs). The sun soon appears over the horizon as I run along the
coast taking in the sea air.  This is the life! Only thing missing is
the FS4.
Just think about the variety of routes, the change of scenery and
climate. And what about the breakfasts, lunches and dinners? What are
we waiting for? I know. Reality.  Nice to dream though.
The run itself was challenging, not so much the distance, but the
changing terrain, road, track, sand and alongside the motorway.  There
was even a bit of an assault course where I went A over T and took a
bit of scrape and bashing.
The locals are pretty soft, all ski jackets and hats and there's me in
vest and shorts looking like a sweaty bag of crap.
Certainly missed the chat. No life stories, nothing about Sandra's
pony tail, no squirrels, no leaky bags or body parts and no short
stories.  I must be looking forward to our summer training.  Am I
mad? Missing you loads.
