I got there finally, now one of these weekends the trick will be to get up to the actual cone of Vesuvio! My Saturday run with the guys was a great 10k as usual, though it was a bit chilly.<br \/>\nSo we&#8217;re closer to actual, factual internet. I have my TIM SIM\u00a0card and there is internet on it, but for whatever reason it&#8217;s not working on my Verizon phone. I have the APN set up, but I&#8217;m clearly missing something. I have to research more to find out what. It may be I have to jailbreak the phone, we will see, but I will get it working, or I&#8217;ll have to buy a new phone at the end of the week. Good news is, I live in a port city area and it will be easy to find a cheap phone that will do the job for now.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, it was sad that my roommate of the last month moved on to (hopefully) better things today, as he&#8217;s on his way to Odessa, Ukraine to take a teaching job there. He was, up till now, the best roommate I&#8217;ve had, we had a lot of fun packed into a very short span of time and really made the last, crazy month much more enjoyable and bearable. The morning coffee just won&#8217;t be the same. And the afternoon coffee, and the evening coffee, and the booze, but mostly the coffee, and old TV like Twin Peaks binge-watching. It was definitely a fun month, through difficult circumstances.<br \/>\nSo that was a recap of my weekend and whatnot. Made it up Somma, Got a SIM card and lost a friend, for now. I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;ll be easy to meet up given the transient nature of the jobs and the fact that we&#8217;re both, more-or-less, in the same area of the world.<br \/>\nOK everybody, have fun, keep running and remember; If Gil can run then so can you!<br \/>\n<iframe allow=\"autoplay\" class=\"youtube_embed_iframe\"    allowFullScreen=\"true\" style=\"width:640px; height:385px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b1ktIMJ-Grk?autoplay=0&theme=dark&loop=0&fs=1&showinfo=1&modestbranding=0&iv_load_policy=1&color=red&autohide=1&disablekb=0&enablejsapi=1&version=3\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-759\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=759&amp;share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-759\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=759&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=759&amp;share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=759&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-759\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=759&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=759\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to print (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=759&amp;share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-759\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=759&amp;share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No posts because my Garmin did not do so well on the very steep, very challenging trot up Somma peak.
