Missed the Oporto Marathon because flights to the UK were terribly expensive the week after it occurred (apparently it coincided with the mid-term week vacation for UK schools, I came to discover), therefore I had to leave earlier, despite having endured a 2-month training programme with my friends at the rowing club…

… and now I will be missing the Oporto S. Silvestre 10k run, since I will have surgery (nothing serious, it was already sort of planned…) the day before! Definitely something is conspiring against my running activities!

(now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going out for a run. 9ºC and a drizzle outside? Go for it! 🙂 )
