Personal:

My name is Eugenio I was born near Rome, Italy, in 1972 and lived there for 29 years, then in 2001 I moved to Salt Lake City for work and for seven years and one month that was my home, since 2008 I am back to Italy. I started running in 2003 when I realized I could not ride my bike throughout the Utah winter.

Evening run 5 miles at 5:32/km. I enjoyed the cool breeze that brought rain and then at the end snow flurries.

Nice miles this week. Or, as they say in Italy, "Nizza miles questa settimana."

Hey Burt, you must speak italian very well to create such great jokes :-)!!!!

I usually make those kind of jokes around here too, but they are considered by my friends and co-workers too intellectual.

I guess those kind of jokes work very well only among people speaking both languages, for example among italians who lived in US is not uncommon to italianize english verbs that we don't have in our language. Examples: droppare (to drop), liccare (to leak), mecciare (to match), fittare (to fit). Sometimes I forget the contest and I use them around here too and people is looking at me as I am having a brain stroke. Have a good week end.

I just googled the translation. I don't speak Italian at all. Only Spanish and a little Catalan.

Ha ha.

When I finished writing my comments I thought for a second that maybe you were just using a translator(not making a joke), but then I decided it would be bad saying that, so I decided to keep my comment.

Nizza in italian is just the name of Nice, nothing else, nice can be translated in different ways (like good, cute, kind), it depends on the context.
