I spent the last week in Italy for Christmas. This meant eating a lot and running very little. 55k in total<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I still managed to go out and run 3 times, but I took it easy as I was weighted down by the many panettoni and wine.<\/p>\n

On Monday I went for a run with Marco R. (my wife’s uncle and my running pen-friend). It was very cold and foggy (Torino is really grey in the winter). We did an easy 13km<\/a> on the river Po and in the Valentino Park. It was good to run in the old places again after so many years. It was also a pleasure to run with Marco after talking about running together and giving each other tips for a year. As it was not enough I decided to do a quick 5km<\/a> run by myself. It was also an excuse to go and check out my old house and neighbourhood. I ended up doing 5k at 4:02. Then it was time for more food and celebrations.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday I went out for an early run (again in the ice and fog). I did my former favourite loop, running on the river<\/a> up to Sam Mauro and then back on the other side via the Colletta\u00a0Park. I stopped at 20km (4:21 average). I have to sadly admit that running in Bushy and Richmond Park has spoiled me, they are unbeatable. It would be nice to go back to Torino once in a while and see some improvements. Sadly I have seen none and I am glad we left years ago.<\/p>\n

Then it was Christmas day. It was probably one of the best. As usual it was a massive lunch with 20+ relatives. It was good.
\nI also received a lot of running related presents. New kits and new books.<\/p>\n

I read Marco Olmo<\/a>‘s book in a day, he is such an inspiration. Strangely there is no English wikipedia page about him.<\/p>\n

On Friday I went running with Marco R. again and this time we were joined by Marco O. (my wife’s brother). We did the same route as I did on Wednesday but without a bit at the end. 17km in total<\/a>. We did not care about the speed as we spent most of the time chatting. It was a lot of fun as I never run with other people any more.<\/p>\n

In the evening I finally managed to go out for a pizza with my old friends Abba and Davide G. (@unknowndest<\/a>). See you at the NDW50!<\/p>\n

Then the holiday in Italy was over. On Saturday we said the final goodbyes and and Sunday we flew back to London. Next week I am still on holiday and will run quite a lot. Then I will rest for a week, getting ready for my first marathon on the 10th!<\/p>\n

Enjoy your holidays!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
