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.

Tempo run night. 2k warm up followed by 7k tempo in 27:50, 3.1k cool down.

Except for the last k, when I was running against the wind, I was working hard during the run but not racing all out to keep the pace.

The train to come back home was 45 minutes late, so I had to cut in half my planned workout. I wanted to do 12X400, but it was 7:30pm when I started and with 40 minutes of decent light I decided to pack the same amount of pain in that time and opted for a 10X200m with 200m recovery jog. Last time I did this workout was 5 years ago in Salt Lake at the East High School track and I was barely able to average 40 seconds. Tonight my splits were these: 36.2 38.4 37.3 36.6 36.0 35.5 37.3 36.5 37.2 37.4 for an AP of 36.8. I was really done at the end but overall I felt satisfied because I accomplished my two goals: going under 40 seconds and trying to be consistent.

Today doing 10 miles at slow pace was much harder than yesterday, it was slow, it was painful and I felt I had nothing to gain in terms of fitness. I am just glad I did them.

Easy miles around the lake, today was the first real spring day around here, warm temperatures and a clear sky.
