We had a lot of fun this past weekend. Maggie had signed up to join our friends Conchi and Lydia for a 9 km. run in the nearby city of Adra. Maggie had caught a cold a few days earlier. She wasn't in top form and she probably should have stayed home, but mere illness won't keep Maggie down. I went along as team photographer - what a nerd.

Things got off to a bad start when they got into trouble with the police for looking so good.
 |
| Hey, your hands are cold! |
After I got them off the hook, they got down to some serious warming up.
 |
| Honestly, I didn't see you there with the camera. |

Pretty soon it was time to start the race and the girls were off.
Also running was Joanne, another friend. Her husband, Jose, and their three children came to cheer her on.

Here are some pictures of the girls in action.

They all finished strong....
and brought home some hardware!
Joanne finished first in her category and Conchi got third in hers. Maggie also got a first place trophy, but she lost her voice in the process due to the cold she had. I have been getting a lot of mileage with that one among all the guys back at the marina over the past few days.

Afterwards, we went for some tapas at a nice restaurant and had a great time.

Que gozada!

P.S. I won first prize because, well, I was the only person in my age group running.....my worst run time ever but with a happy ending :-)
