My goal race should have been on Sunday 24th... I trained a lot for it (8 weeks of a hard plan) but: - got cough from my kids last week - my father-in-law died 2 days ago and I was the one injecting him the last morphine shot (he had an esophageal cancer from June) - not slept for 2 nights tried to run this morning at slow pace, but my physical condition is very bad. my mental strength is also weak. stress levels over the top. currently I don't even know if I want to run the race or not. I'm emptied in the body and mind. let's see if something changes between now and Sunday... I don't know why I'm writing here those negative vibes, but you are my community and a way for me to escape from the tough reality of these days.

🏁 2500 Km 🏁 Yearly Goal reached! One month and a half before schedule. It was a good year without any major injury and a lot of PRs. I'm satisfied so far.

Wife: “you have too much shoes and you keep adding a new pair every three months. If you want a new pair you must get rid of an old one” Me: “farewell good shoes, you served me well…😭” These were year 2022 🥲

The best birthday gifts are those handmade by your kids. He spent a good amount of time (his words) to create a cup for the race I ran on Sunday, because I never win a running race and so I don’t have any cup. 🥹 Will miss these days very soon. I know.

I'm not a gym guy, I'm a runner, and it all makes sense for me. (reward is new pair of shoes, the journal is strava, started from few km a weeks...) Hope it helps someone creating their habits... https://x.com/Rainmaker1973/status/1857037545411879095

And they say that the europoooors don't work enough... isn't the leisure cluster too big in the afternoon in the US? 😅 https://x.com/Rainmaker1973/status/1856966528882602242

The next run will reach my yearly goal of 2500 km, just 2.2 to go. I've not checked before going out, otherwise I should have ran more today on my birthday run 😜

Just checked my Strava and it says I’ve ran 200+ hours this year… Does this make me top 5%? 😳

Still thinking about yesterday’s race. I think it was my best race ever. Not only for the time. But with the feelings and the management of the pace. It’s amazing how your body can perform when you don’t feel the mental pressure of the “goal race” Here is the official negative split:

This was not my goal race (due in two weeks) but more a test. I felt good and pushed a little. At the 18th km I realized I could to a fantastic time (for me). Last km at 3:45/km with a fantastic view in the center of Crema. All the people cheering for us on both sides. Amazing experience!! 😍

Easy Zone2 13 km in the mist… I love this weather. You might think I’m crazy, but I was born in November, so my biorhythm is in sync. Good vibes only.

The temperature is low (5C / 41 F) and I'm starting to suffer from freezing hands (even with the gloves). When it's this cold, the veins in your wrist tend to tighten and the capillary profusion used by the sensor in the watch start to not be enough for reliable measurements. If you see strange reading of your bpm, there are 2 things you can do to mitigate the issue: - try to keep the wrist warm (gloves and long sleeves) - tighten the watch strap hope this helps
