Writing while above the clouds headed to Shanghai... Yesterday I turned 40, so officially starts my "career" of Master runner.
Sincere thanks to all those who sent messages in any way.
It feels like yesterday when I was a 19yo stud and the idea of enrolling a race as M40 would have been unimaginable...
My original plan for the event was to run the Berlin Marathon as my last race as a "young" and double with the next available marathon 2 weeks later as Master. It has not gone to plans and I had to content myself with an easy bike ride, eccentric stretching and self massage to the tendons. The rate of recovery is slow and still I just try to keep the morale and keep myself in the groove of waking up early to make bike rides to keep fit...
ITALIANO:
In volo per Shanghai...
Ieri ne ho fatti 40 e onestamente posso dire "40 e sentirli tutti"...
Zoppicando appena alzato dal letto ha dato subito un concreto elemento del perche' comunque 20 e' sempre meglio di 40...
I'll mio piano di celebrazioni prevedeva di correre 2 maratone a cavallo della data fatidica per fare un ultima gara da "giovane" e poi lanciarmi in una gara da "master". Non e' andata come sperato e mi sono dovuto accontentare di un giretto in bici attorno a casa.
In questo periodo e' realmente difficile non mollare la presa, I'll recupero e' veramente lento e mi devo sforzare per mantenere I'll ritmo di alzarmi presto ogni mattina per fare almeno un po' di bici..prima o poi arriveranno tempi podisticamente migliori
A runner from South China. The title of my blog comes from my habit to run very early in the morning and be back home by 7am. Running in China can be very challenging at times and requires a lot of determination, but is also a good way to make yourself at home here...
