And did I<\/a>! It seems I’ve been getting faster. No idea how or why, just happening. Maybe it’s because I haven’t run a marathon since December? It’s odd because I still have my nagging hamstring injury.
\nMeanwhile, they hired a new teacher at work and she runs, so with her being new to the area, I may have found another running buddy, I may have to start a club! Now that I’m used to the roads, I’m enjoying my runs more, but when they’re wet, the roads in town are very slick, and that can be dangerous. I will have to remember to take it easy.
\nSo I either get paid tomorrow or Monday it seems, there is some confusion in that, either way I can’t wait! As soon as my friends in Denmark give me final word on the date I am booking a cheap flight up to their place for their wedding! Yay! My first intra-continental trip! As I’ve always stayed in Italy and never, well technically Vatican City is another country but not really, ventured to another country in the same trip.
\nSo a full month on and I’m adjusting pretty well. According to Duolingo I am now 45% fluent in Italian. I am making friends, as always, and even taken two hikes up the Somma side of the mountain. I do need to summit Vesuvio soon, that’s for sure. I need some hot caldera action! And I think next Sunday I will venture out to Pozzuoli to find this Lebanese place for some falafel, hummus, and maybe something else. They do have extensive vegetarian options on their menu. Too exciting all around. Of course this Sunday is St. Valentine’s Day, which I have no special plans (as is the usual). Maybe I’ll get myself a candy bar or some other chocolates.
\nOK off to work with me, I do generally enjoy my schedule, fairly relaxing, even the tough days are good, tiring but good. Alright, I’ll see you guys on the flipside, and hopefully after this weekend I’ll have a more stable connection and can get the show back on the youtubes!
\nHave fun, keep running and remember; If Gil can run then so can you!<\/p>\n
