Well, we've made it through the winter training season and it's now actually light by the time we finish our runs in the morning (exciting!). We even had warm sunshine for our final 10 miler this weekend (more exciting!). And the official countdown has begun... we leave for Lisbon on Friday after work and will be starting the half marathon at 10:30am on Sunday morning.
After a couple days in Lisbon we head to this winery in the Douro Valley for a little R&R: http://www.wonderfulland.com/wonder2006/sleep/quintadovallado/indexhouse_en.htm#atmosphere. Then we make one final stop in Porto for port tasting and a night in a small hotel right on the water before heading back to London.
It's warm and sunny in Lisbon right now, but they're calling for rain on Sunday, so please keep your fingers crossed that the forecast changes between now and then!

I've got my fingers crossed for sun on Sunday!
Beautiful accommodations in "wine country." I think your photos will rival theirs, however!
Wine country will be the perfect way to relax after the race. And we'll definitely take tons of pictures!!
