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 went out with the intention to test my legs with something faster. I started slow as a warm up and then I went progressively faster down to HM pace, given the slow start and the slow progression with the last 3 miles at HM pace I thought it would be easier but it was not. Clearly my legs are not recovered yet, I did what I wanted to do but never felt "easy". I am probably one of the few people around here looking forward to daylight saving time, in Italy it will be in a couple of weeks, it will officially open the summer season with the possibility to have all my evening runs with some light.

Heavy rain outside, I decided to stay dry inside. Next sunday I will jog the Rome marathon so a little taper will help to finish in one piece. The funny thing about this year edition is the uncertainty about the course, given the pope election, apparently there are several variants depending on what kind of ceremony there will be in St Peter's square on sunday morning. There is also a chance the race could start in the afternoon. It will be fun to see what will happen. In the meantime some recovery time is good.

I went to the expo to pick up the bib number I don't feel too excited about this year marathon, mostly because I will try to do it as a long run without doing too much damage to my legs.

To force myself to rest I went to work for most of the day. I had some work done and I am well rested.
