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.

Back from a vacation on the Appennini. Weather was hotter than expected a 900m above sea level, but for sure more pleasant than Rome.

My running was on a low maintenance mode, with a 20 miler peak up and down a couple of hills that made the whole thing quite challenging. 

Today I did a short 10 k just to relax and enjoy the usual scenery, tomorrow morning back to work.

9 miles around the lake in 1:24:51, cooler temperatures and light breeze, it was a perfect run.

After two weeks I attempted again a 5 X 1600m series.

The average time was exactly the same with the following splits: 6:16, 6:21, 6:29, 6:38, 6:36. Recovery time was 3 minutes.

Two weeks ago I felt a little bit depressed, I thought I was faster (between 6:10 and 6:20) today it was a reality check and I have to conclude that this is where I am right now.

At least I managed to do 8 good miles and another tough run is done.

The worst part of the run were my legs, they were fresh and rested. Usually after a 10 X 800 I am tired for at least a couple of days, tonight I felt good, in spite of this I don't think yesterday I could have pushed any faster pace.

8 miles at 5:24/km nothing really fast but overall a good training run.

10 miles at MP, the first half was done not paying attention to my speed and time, at the turnaround I was only 4 seconds behind then in the last 4km I started pushing and gained 42 seconds at the end. 10 miles in 1:11:18 4:28/km.

I was tired this morning but the "good running weather" (it was raining and the temperatures were below 70) pushed out of the door to do another 10 miler. I ended up with 11 just to finish the week with 60 miles.

Good luck to all Deseret News runners next monday.
