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.

Two inches of snow transformed Rome in a trap for cars and people.

My normal commute by train takes 1 hour, yesterday by train and car it took almost five hours, when I got back home I went out for a run just to relax and enjoy the snow.

It was not like running in the snow up Dry Creek canyon but it was beautiful anyway, at 9 pm I was the only person around. I really like how the white rubber of my running shoes is white again after a good run on snow. 6.3 miles at 6:16/km.

After 0.2 miles I was wet from head to toe, after another mile I was wet, miserable, cold, alone in the dark in a desert industrial area; instead going home I transformed my training in a mental training I was no longer there but I was running the last 10 km of a marathon and I had to cross the finish line. It really worked my brain started focusing on this task and was no longer "distracted" by negative thoughts. During the last km it stopped raining, it was my reward.

 6.4 miles at 5:51/km

Slow recovery run around Vico lake. 10.5 miles at 5:42/km.

2010 was my highest mileage year ever with 2672 miles, I am very happy about this huge (at least for me) goal. 

Now I am out for a short vacation and then I will start writing down my goals for 2011.

Buon anno a tutti!!!
