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.

Easy recovery run. The weather was great sunny and clear skies, I wasn't sore just general fatigue. I started feeling good only during the last 3 miles.

Tonight I was lucky the thunderstorm that yesterday hit at 7pm, exactly when I was leaving for my run, this evening waited two more hours and until 8:30 the skies were mostly clear with a warm sun. It is a crazy weather, we really didn't have spring so far.

The run was good, my legs are still heavy and tired from saturday's race but after a 5k warm up I started a nice progression finishing at MP pace. Overall a great feeling and at the end I felt much better than at the start.

Tonight I didn't have enough time for a run, so I decided to bring my running clothes and shoes with me in the car. Once I got back from Rome, in the parking lot of the train station I changed into my running outfit inside the car and went for a run on the farm roads around the train station. It was fun to change the scenery, this road also is a gentle roller not too hard and fast enough to keep some rhythm going. I finished 7.5 miles in 1 hour. As added bonus once at home I discovered that a thunderstorm just stopped. I am really tired of this constant spring, cold weather.

Fast workout night, the plan was to do 10X1000 with 2:30 recovery jogging. I knew that it would be impossible to finish it, if I was doing it under 3:50/k but I just wanted to see how the crash was coming and how I would deal with it. Last time I did this with 1:30 recovery it was ugly and my time was around 3:51 for six repeats. Tonight the first 5 repeats were ok then during 6th and 7th I felt nauseous and decided to stop there. My splits were 3:50, 3:47, 3:47, 3:46, 3:48, 3:47, 3:47. I felt good, but this pace is still ambitious for my current level of fitness. The consistency was a good thing and my crash was mental before it showed in my times.

Easy miles around mount Venere, I started really slow and relaxed, half way I was bored and started pushing, I finished really fast but the beauty of running without a Garmin means I will never know my final speed.

This morning my energy level was really low and I had just one hour for a quick run, I couldn't force myself to go beyond 4 very easy miles. I am just tired.
