Weather looks perfect!! and your tourism plan too!! I lived for 4 years in Madrid and I think Temple of Debod is one of the most beautiful monuments and probably the least known.
ReplyDeleteOn Sunday I'll run a 10km race, 400km far from Madrid. But my mind will be with all the marathoners in Madrid.
Mucha suerte--good luck.
Thank you :-) This will be my 3rd marathon. I enjoyed Valencia so much in November that I just had to run another Spanish marathon!
DeleteI love Egyptian history so the Temple of Debod is something I have to see. My hotel is only 5 minutes away from it :-)
Yah, that weather looks perfecto!
ReplyDeleteYou did an astounding amount of hill training...that should help quite a bit 8)
-p
The weather justs keep changing as usual...
DeleteYour training looks great for your up and coming race too!
I do worry about the hill at the end of Madrid which I have to start running up after running around 35k. It's pretty much up hill the last 7k so I think that's where the real challenge starts.
