Formula Run Cup

Next Sunday we're going to Rome where the Formula Run Cup starts at 09:30. The 10 km race will be held in support of Save the Children. I'll have a breakfast of 300 to 500 calories two hours before the starting and I won't forget to eat carbs the night before the race. Maybe I'll have pizza with my family and other friends.
Now I post a photo of a nice old and small village which I saw this week while I was working. It is situated in the middle of Italy, 60 km North of Rome, and is connected by a narrow walkway to reality and to the surrounding countryside.

Entering the ancient city gate we feel that we're leaving the real world. It isn't a place to running and ... there are 15 inhabitants only! From 2002 some English people have bougth old houses in this small supernatural world.

I hope that all my blogger friends will have a nice weekend.

good luck on your run.

I love the picture of the village. That looks like it would be a steep incline to get up there.

Hi there Giorgio,
I was interested in one of your other posts - about hamstring stretches. After a run I put my foot on a wall with my leg parallel to the ground, then lean forward and try to put both hands round my foot. When you get older, like me, hamstrings shorten and after a run I can usually only reach my foot with one hand - until I've used the 'Stick' mentioned in my Blog. After a couple of minutes rolling the knots out I can then put both hands round my foot quite easily because the hamstring has lengthened.
