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.

Rest day, I was just too lazy and I didn't want to go out and get another hour or so of rain and cold weather.

Another useless day in the running department. After long hours at work, I got home and it was raining hard, I ventured out around my neighbourhood to test the "water" after a mile I was wet and miserable so I got back home.

I got wet going from the train station to work, same story tonight from work to the train station (I know I should have brought an umbrella, but it was sunny when I left my house this morning), finally at home tonight there were clear skies and I went running without worrying too much getting wet.

7 slow miles, but it felt good anyway.

First good running day since the marathon. I started at 4pm (that helped) and went out on a progression run, after doing 4 miles in 38 minutes and change (not exactly fast) I came back in 22 minutes. I was feeling really great at the end.

After last night fast run, I thought I would be destined on a slow recovery jog for today, instead my legs were fresh and ready I didn't want to push the pace and still I have done 7 miles in 57 minutes. Very easy and very fun. On a side note considering the almost full moon I left for half of the run the "safety" of the industrial loop to venture on some adjacent  rural roads using only the moonlight to see. It was eerie at the beginning but after a few minutes I was totally comfortble running with just the moonlight.

5 easy recovery miles before tomorrow 2nd attempt at running 20 miles (after  last weekend failure). At least no rain in the forecast.

Another disappointing training run. As soon as I woke up I knew that there was no way I was going to do 20 miles this morning I was already tired. I thought that I could do an half-marathon at marathon pace but after 6.5 miles in 48 minutes, keeping the same pace for just another mile would have been impossible, I resigned and finished the half in 1:48 and change and I was glad I was still able to run until the end.

I really need to rest and recover (mentally and physically).
