I haven't been running since May 20, as I haven't been trained as I should. After I had run the Race For the cure in Rome on May 19, I did three training sessions. And I began to feel pain on the left side of my right knee. So my injured knee was visited by the orthpedic technician, who modified my orthotic insoles. As a result, the pain on my right knee disappeared. Unfortunately, one week later, after I had done two running sessions I began to feel pain on my left knee. This time the orthpedic technician didn't modifie my orthotic insoles. He only said I needed new running shoes. Why didn't he say that the first time he visited my right knee? Anyway, I had no choice but to buy new running shoes.
Meanwhile I am cycling, as I am still afraid running may injure my knees. Next week I'll try to run 20 minutes only. Since I have had pain on my knees, I have been cycling. This gives me the opportunity to understand, once again, how I love running.
The following picture shows Civitavecchia, the town where I live, work, and ... go cycling.

The picture above on the right shows pink geranium's flowers on my balcony. On the left a traditionally-rigged sailing vessel of the Italian Navy while it was leaving the port of Civitavecchia. I got that picture two weeks ago thanks to a friend of mine who took it while he was sailing with his boat.
The fourth picture here on the left side reminds me the dangerous wet cobblestones along the running path in Rome, where I ran the 2019 "Race For The Cure" on May 19. I took the picture while I was running that race.
... And a deliciuos cake, which we (Stefano and me) had at lunch after we had run the 2019 Rome's "Race For The Cure" on May 19.
Have a nice weekend!

I hope you will find the right solution to run again, cycling is ok but what about a cross training that includes swimming? I hope you will be ready for the Orbetello night run on june 28th.
Nice pictures and good memories (Amerigo Vespucci when I was in the Navy, the Race in Rome and the dessert).
Knees are SOOO tricky and temperamental. I had surgery two years ago (freaky staph infection my doctor misdiagnosed), and that took a good three months to heal, mainly for the 3-inch suture. But getting range of motion back took much longer. Take it easy!
I share your sentiment, Giorgio - whenever I need to cross train for whatever reason, it only reminds me how much I love and miss running...! Hope your knees heal up real soon so that you can properly enjoy those new running shoes!
To Karien: thanks for your support, Karien. I really miss running ... next week I'll try again.
To Kim: sorry to hear you had surgery two years ago. It's important your knee became healthy and normal again.
Have you considered checking your hips? When I have knee pain it is because my pelvis is misaligned. My Chiropractor fixes it right up. I hope you find a solution and are able to run pain-free again soon!
Those cobblestones in Rome look so slippery to run on!
Yay! My comment worked! :D
Great to see you are back blogging! Thanks for your advice about the knee. At moment my knee is going better.
Wow! Just an awesome post.

Those pink geraniums are gorgeous.
All the best Jan
Nice photos! I agree that cycling is not as hard on your knees as running. I have ankle problems and never could run much, but now even walking is limited. Don't damage your limbs!
Hello,
Lovely images and post. The flowers re beautiful, I love the sailing vessel.
I do not have the ankles for running, I can walk at a brisk pace. I hope you are able to run again soon. Thank you for visiting my blog. Take care, have a great week!
Hola !! gracias por tu visita y dejar comentario, muy bonitos esos geranios y las demás fotos. Debes cuidarte las rodillas no te vayas a lesionar aún más. La bicicleta también te puede servir como deporte es muy ameno. Un saludo y cuidate.
I have a knee problem... so I can feel...
I love your photos and that cake looks delicious!
Kisses, Paola.
