My first run in my new home!
I woke up early, really early, I couldn’t sleep much. I waited until about 6am to get out and run. I ended up running into two guys running as well, and as I didn’t know where I was going, I asked (without knowing how far they were going) if I could run with them. So I ended up running 5 miles with them; gentle, rolling hills in this area, so it was nice. They were older and did not run at a fast pace, so I found myself needing to slow down at times to let them catch up.
I don’t speak much Italian and they don’t speak much English. But one of them lives above the school, which is cool I ended up walking into him as he was coming home for lunch. They are both lawyers, may be a good thing if I start having trouble. As getting a tax code and other national identification is proving slightly difficult. Some crazy thing about our landlady not giving us a proper leasing contract. So I’ve been reduced to asking my friends, who live on the other side of the country (West to East) to sign a document saying I live with them. There are some weird rules and laws here. Unnecessary red tape. Americans don’t know the meaning of the word bureaucracy.
So tomorrow, I don’t have class until 5pm, so going to the store, taking care of some logistical issues, and other mess. Other than that I’m going to take a little time and try to watch some of the Newcastle v United match, and then head home and cook a little dinner I think. But maybe I’ll go out, we’ll see.
Have fun, keep running and remember; If Gil can run then so can you!
