I am back to almost normal life after a couple of hectic days. Tonight was the coldest day of this season, 32-34°F, I actually enjoyed being out and just having to run without having anything else to think about. I signed up for a couple of spring marathons, San Valentino marathon on feb. 19 and Rome marathon on march 18, now it's time to commit again to more serious training. For every marathon I always added or changed something in my training, this time I really want to increase a little bit my mileage while keeping a couple of hard/fast workouts. To increase my mileage it will be harder doing it at night in one session, so I will try to add some easy miles early in the morning before leaving to work. I am writing this just to commit myself to this new goal. 7 easy miles.

| | This won't be the first double of the season because tonight I won't be able to run but it was the first early morning run (5:30-6:00) anyway and probably my first early morning run during the winter months ever. I did a 1.1km loop around my house without any watch, it was cold but not humid, overall it was a good experience and I hope to keep this enthusiasm when the feeling of doing something new will be gone. 5 laps for 3.3 miles at slow pace.

| | Tonight I went running to celebrate the "end"of the dark season, from now on days will gain minutes of light. I won't be able to go running in the evening with some light until mid march but summer is coming. 5 miles progressively faster, I started at 5:00/km finished at 4:30/km, total time 37:37.

I had big plans for today's run, but rain, wind and just don't feeling all that great lowered my expectations I ended up with 8 slow miles. Just in general my legs don't feel recovered, constantly tired and even running slow doesn't seem to help, I would really like to start pushing again, in terms of miles and speed, but everytime I try to bump things up I feel lack of energy, aches and pain everywhere. Anyway it is what it is, I will do what I can. Merry Christmas, buon Natale!!!
