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.

This morning I was really tired and the plan of going out for 2 hours and covering 13 miles, it was more a fantasy. I stayed home all morning, had lunch at my parents house and then in the afternoon my legs started smiling again. At 3pm I went out and ended up doing 7 miles, first half slow second half at HM pace. It was hot but I am glad I decided to wait to go running until the afternoon because I was feeling much better and my pace was faster.

One of the last run around the lake during the week, it is really getting dark very early. 10 miles in 1:26:14. It is nice just to add miles.

Weird tempo run, overall it was right 17k at 4:51/k AP, that is my current dream MP, but the whole run was just crazy I started uphill for the first 4k and my time went from 5:50 to 5:11. Then for the next 6k on a flat/slightly downhill terrain I maintained 4:10/k, then under the moonlight I finished the last 7k on a rolling terrain trying to cool down at 5:00/k with the last km at 4:30/k.

I was really impressed by my 4:10/k during the central 6k and overally because after those fast kms I was not dead and my legs were still able to respond. Next time I have to try to do a more even job on a flat terrain.

Slow run around my house, it is the end of the summer season, for the next six months no more runs around the lake during the week days, just darkness, cold weather and rain. I am really excited.

Good recovery run 10k in 1 hour.

Last year this week end I did a 36k at 4:47/k, today I started a 26k trying to finish at 5:00/k. Since the beginning I was able to stay well under 5:00, I finished the first 13k in 1:03:28 and did the second 13.2k in 1:01:48. Good things were the negative split, at the end I was tired but still able to maintain the pace, and overall I felt good throughout the whole run in spit being by myself. I was really dehydrated at the end because it was hot (I lost exactly 3kilos, that's too much), I have to remember to bring liquids for this kind of runs and I have to learn to appreciate what I can do right now instead keep going back at what I was able to do on the same course last year.
