Today was a very quiet day. A few of us headed out to the mall for a little change of scenery. I had a nice stroll around but didn't do much shopping.
Training
Today I ran a total of 8 miles which included: 4 miles running; threw on the spikes and did 4 by 300m with 3 hurdles - times 57,57,56,56 seconds with a slow 100m walk/jog recovery between them; finished with 3 miles running. Felt pretty good. Had an ice-bath afterwards. That was it for today.
I have eaten a ton of fresh fruit the last week. platters are served up at every meal here, and it is delightful. Today's fact - Los Alcazares History: The site of healing spas during the Roman occupation of the Iberian Peninsular, Los Alcazares became an established settlement when the Moors arrived in the area, the name of the town derives from the Arabic for "the palaces", and it was the Arabs who established agriculture in the area, building irrigation systemsto enable previously barren land to be used for growing fruit and vegetables. The Moors also developed some unique fishing methods which were perfect for the conditions experienced in the Mar Menor, methods which are still used today.
