On this sunny Sunday I ran 23 km long run related to Stefano's marathon training and the average pace was about 05:50 min./km. The weather was hot enough and I had rehydration problems although we had drunk three times along the track. It isn't easy to drink enough water before the run at 07:00 a.m.!
I got energy for that long run from a Turkish cake with walnuts and honey which I had the night before :) We made this cake (It's name is Baklava) and you can see it in the photo below.
Baklava, Turkish recipe |
The photo below was taken last Sunday, on September, 11st and it shows my daughters Laura and Simona with their friends on the Valmontone's roller coaster, which is situated 40 km South of Rome. Laura is the first from right with the black shirt and Simona is the first from right with the white shirt.

You make me crave sweets! That baclava looks very sinful. I think I will move to Italy and train with you guys. :)
I never liked roller coasters.
Wish hour daughters Happy Birthday from me!
23k is a good solid run and it justifies a couple of pieces of that delicious-looking baklava. Running justifies lots of stuff.
That looks so delicious...perfect pre-run fuelling :)
Happy Birthday to your daughters...they are brave!
That looks like a serious roller coaster!
Funny: 23k is what I ran the in the entire week last week :)
I don't like baklava, way to sweet for me but a great pre run food.
Your so fast! I would love to have that as a pre-run energy booster...are you going to share the recipe? It is fun to watch children growing older :-)
Happy birthday to the daughters!
23 km .... e non finisce qui!
Baklava - YUM!!!
Definitely excellent fuel for running 23 km!
You did great!! I ran a Half on Sept 25 but since I wasn't trained, I walked the 2nd half. My next one is Nov 6 - can I have a tee-shirt if I PR - only kidding! I now craving Baklava & I hate roller coasters.
