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.

I wanted to do a run at MP ended up doing the first km at the right speed and then I was carried away and I run close to HM pace. Evening run, solo, 7 miles at 4:17/km. It is what it is.

Does il Papa know you're running maratona di Roma on la domenica?

Sorry I couldn't help trying out my lost Italian. It's been 24 years since I was in Italia as a missionario.

In Italy almost all the running events (included those organized by catholic organizations, like the Corsa dei Santi on nov 1st) are held on sunday. Last year during the Rome Marathon while I was running in front of St Peter square there was a domenican monk giving his blessing to the runners asking for it. So I think I should be fine.

Your Italian is still understandable, without practice foreign languages are probably considered by the brain a useless waste of cerebral space and energies, my english is fading really fast (unfortunately), that obeys to the general rule: use it or loose it.

Where did you serve as a missionario?

I served in Rimini, Pistoia, Roma, and Napoli.

Wow you visited four very different cities and probably met several different aspects of italian life.
