The Corrib river, Galway

The Corrib river crosses Galway. Actually Galway is the last place the river passes before reaching the ocean. This afternoon I gave a walk and took some pictures of the river. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed the walk:



Then I continued walking and after approximately 30 minutes I arrived to the docks. This area of the city, as it´s name indicates, is where the ships "park". There are lots of warehouses, and industrial stuff scattered across the area. Among all this things I found this structure, that seems to be part of a crane:



Lovely afternoon indeed.

Cheers!

Streets of Galway 08

Next Saturday 8th August take place the major running event in Galway city, the Streets of Galway. This race is organized every year by the Galway City Harriers, and sponsored by Future Financial Services.

It´s is a 8K long race. My last 8K race was in Maree, and there I did a 4:20 per K average. Last Monday I did an 8K test at almost race pace, and it took me 34:27, which means that I can improve my result in Maree.

The anecdote of this race is that I was absolutely convinced that the race would take place the 1st of August. With this in my mind last week I planned a really soft training, and on Friday I called the organization because I hadn´t received the race pack (chip and t-shirt), only to discover that the race wasn´t that Saturday, but saturday week.

I hope this event doesn´t affect my performance, I´ll inform you soon.

Bye!!!
