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, just enjoyed a relaxing day doing laundry, ironing and mowing the lawn last time before the winter months. This week will be stressfull between a trip to Bolzano, a big meeting at work and the marathon next weekend. Not time and mind to run.

I got to Bolzano at 10:30 am quick 6 miles under a beautiful sunny sky and no snow on the mountains. Temperatures were around freezing but it was really nice, I ended up doing the last three miles along the river (slightly downhill) at HM pace. After that I spent the rest of the day at work.

I had no time to run this morning in Bolzano and when I got back home at 8pm tonight I didn't feel like going out even for a short run. I am trying to convince myself I am tapering for a marathon that I really didn't prepare at all, considering all "planned" and "unplanned" rest days during the last for 4 weeks. This marathon will end up being a long run to restart my spring training.

Last run before Florence marathon. My original goal for this marathon (a month ago while I was still high on adrenaline after Pescara marathon) was to go out and trying to hit 3:10 final time or dying in the process. After two episodes of sore throat and fever and sub par slow mileage in the last 30 days I lowered my goals: first and most important it will be to finish it in one piece without broken parts, second one finish under 3:30, third and near impossible finish under 3:20, but realistically no pressure to accomplish any goal time, I want to do it as a good training high intensity run. I am doing this race in spite my low mood because last year it was my first DNS because I was sick and this year I need redemption, the second and main reason is because I have relatives in Florence I haven't seen in a couple of years and this will a good way to have a nice family reunion.

Happy thanksgiving!!!!
