Long run and an Ugly Building

avatar

I just finished a 12.007km running that lasted about 0hh:57mm:2ss !

I skipped Sunday's long run in order to spend the morning and part of the afternoon riding the bikes with the family.
So, today I had to do it longer...but in a progressive manner since last time I went for running was on Thursday, better not to "overload" so much the already relaxed muscles.

I tried to maintain my cardio frequency below 145 bpm till the 8th kilometre, keeping a safe pace.
On the last 4 km I speed-up a little without over-passing the anaerobic threshold.

I have varied a little bit my usual path and I reached one emblematic building at the confines of the city, near Barcelona Airport.

It is called Hesperia Tower and has a Luxurious Restaurant on top that seems like "Flying Saucer UFO"...

Even if it is indeed a very expensive Hotel and restaurant, I don't like at all architecturally speaking neither aesthetically...maybe that is the reason why is not so demanded by tourists a part from being quiet far from the city center...

Anyway, at the end it has been a good training, 12 km in less than 57', taking pics in the mid way...not bad!

That's all for today folks, I am really tired and willing to go to bed soon today.

Tomorrow more and better.

@Keep on running!

You need to stake more BEER (24 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)

It's futuristic Eddie, and futurism doesn't have anything in common with the sense of beauty any longer. It just have to be one of its kind.

maybe, but this building is 20 years old already. I think they planned it for an eventual extension of the city south borders.

That's a good run. Is it getting warm there?

Can't remember if I saw that building when I was in Barcelona. Hope to go back some day.

Today we had a temperature of 22 degrees, for the moment it is a delicious weather.
Maybe you have seen this building reaching the city from the airport, it is close to the motorway.
Let me know if you ever come again.

It's a little cooler here. I will be sure to let you know if I return. There are a few Hive people I would love to meet, but not likely to be travelling for a while.
