Running update: After more than one year the Black Knight is back. From May 2020 to February 2021 I was only able to compete in virtual runs because, due to the pandemic, all the races in person have been cancelled.
On march 15th I underwent a surgical operation to remove an inguinal hernia. For this reason I had to stop my workouts for a whole month. Now I run regularly every other day but I have lost my usual "speed", at the moment my pace is much slower: I know I am old and I must take my time without being in hurry.
At last in Italy the Associations are organizing running races again but with a reduced number of participants, with staggered starts and mask at the start and at the finish line.
And now some pictures of the most ancient part of my city:
Have a good running week
Hooray. Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that you are healthy again and the races are returning.
Thank you. Races are returning but it's hard to race with the heat. I must find some competition in the evening.
DeleteWelcome back! Glad to hear that the surgery went well and that you are healthy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, but as I am old the recover is longer than in the past. But never mind I am "on the road" again!
DeleteIt's great to see you return and are healthy once again. Glad the running events will return and be adapted according to the current situation. Nice photos from your area, love to visit it someday. Take it easy and enjoy your running even if it's less than before.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. And very close to my city there are Rome and the beautiful green Tuscia (very soon I will post some photos of this "region").
DeleteI learned the lesson to take it easy after some injures.
Glad to see you back at it! So sorry about the surgery, but glad you are on the mend. Looking forward to reading your posts again.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was not easy to come back to run but now I am improving even if slowly.

Thank you, I try to stay strong but I am really getting older...... never mind, I do what I can do without stressing my body. All the best.
DeleteSo glad to see you back in action! I bet your speed & endurance will return faster than expected :-) Its exciting to have our live races return!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. The lives races are a good chance to compete and to spend part of the day in beautiful places eating local food in typical restaurants.
DeleteLovely photos. It's hard to come back to running after an internal operation so I'm glad you've been able to get back to it, even if the speed hasn't returned quite yet. Gently does it!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's hard because of the heat too but I am not in hurry.
DeleteWelcome back...

Deletenice to see you back and to read that you are running again!! time and dedication will get you back where you were!!
ReplyDeletebeautiful images!!
Thank you. I hope, with all this heat the recover is longer but I think positive.
DeleteI wish you a speedy recovery. Glad to read that you are running again. Good luck training for your upcoming 10k.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The training is tough because of the heat but .... I try to improve my speed.
DeleteVery lovely scenes from your city -- thanks for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteI know it's frustrating, but you have to take the time to recover. That will help you eventually get more speed.
You are right, I need time. At the moment my goal is the mileage more than the pace.
DeleteI hope the races will be hold next year.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week!
Speriamo, ma non la vedo bene. Delle gare del Corrintuscia non se ne parla proprio e quelle del Corri nella Maremma hanno la scritta "work in progress".
