Week end by the lake: My wife and I have just got home after 2 days in Capodimonte, by the lake of Bolsena, with our daughter's family. On the lakefront there were attractions, music and an open market. This year no fireworks at midnight because of the Covid restrictions.
We spent many hours by the lake, enjoying the fresh water and playing with Gabriele, the grandson 5 y.o. (the other one, Alessandro, is only 2 months old).
Running update: On the running front this was not an easy week because of the heat wave, so I made shorter and slower runs except on Sunday (always at 06:30 a.m.) where I could run in Capodimonte under a light breeze:
Monday: 7,6 km flat;
Wednsday: 8,7 km flat;
Friday: 9,2 km hilly;
Sunday: 10,5 km flat.
Bolsena Lake looks beautiful, Stefano!
ReplyDeleteDoes your daughter and her family live in Capodimonte or did you all just spend a few days there?
Well done with the running despite the heat!
Here we're at a cool 20°C again.
We have a little flat near the lake where we sometimes spend some days.
DeleteHere 30° C now.
Well, I had no idea you had grandchildren!!! How wonderful to spend time with them at the lake. And I bet the running felt great while you were there too.
ReplyDeleteWe have 4 grandchildren (13 y.o., 9 y.o., 5 y.o. and 2 months).
DeleteRunning by the lake is good for many reasons: temperature, landscapes, ground, few cars etc.

ReplyDeleteCheers
The little ones are 4 and I love to spend my time with them.
DeleteWhat a beautiful setting for some relaxing time with family! The photo of the lake, with all the lights reflecting, is breath-taking ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd also the near towns are beautiful and relaxing. Before the pandemic there was a running tournament named "Corrintuscia" with a race in every town of the Province.
DeleteRunning was difficult here, too, because of the same reason. The heat wave finally broke, although some humidity has crept back in & we're expecting more thunderstorms over the next few days.
ReplyDeleteTime spent by water & with family is always time well spent!
I agree, I am very happy when I can spend my time with all my family: wife, son and his wife (2 sons) and daughter and her hubby (2 sons).
DeleteHere always hot ......
nice pictures...be careful in the sun!! we had a heat wave here too, no running for me - hehehehe
ReplyDeleteI must be careful in the sun also why I am a cancer survivor!
Deletei didn't know...so i am sure you are careful!! have a great weekend!!
DeleteYour getaway looks beautiful! Glad you enjoyed. I think you ran great miles in spite of the heat!
ReplyDeleteThis summer running is very hard for me. Heat, age ....
DeleteWinter, come back soon please!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThe family getaway to the lake sounds like a fun time. It looks beautiful there too. Take care running on those hot days. Wonderful photos. Have a happy weekend!
