My training has been going pretty well this week, and I'm anxious to do some races this spring, especially some of the cross country series in our town. I finished a 22-mile run on Sunday strong and I ran ten yesterday morning and this morning and those runs went well.
Last night Tammi and I had a nice sunset walk around central Padua and then came home and ordered pizza. The pizza delivery, on scooter, is lightning quick and usually arrives within 15 minutes of ordering.
Here's a running blog that I like: http://www.runblogger.com/
He does shoe reviews, and maybe someday I'll try to do that too, if I can get them from the shoe companies for free.
Random thought: I very much dislike when people think their mere suggestions qualify as directions or orders. (A colleague of mine has suddenly taken on a lot of work based on the fact that "Prof. Frappenflaffen suggested so-and-so," therefore she's doing so-and-so with all haste and dispatch, as if the Prince had insuinated his desire for the arrest and imprisonment of a rival.) I also dislike indirection; a good counterstrategy to it is refusing to interpret, or simply taking things at face value. Though excessive literalism can be a form of passive-aggressive indirection too, as it's a dodge of the situation too; nevertheless, it can work in situations where frankness would call attention to itself and nothing infuriates insinuators like literalness and hermeneutic refusal.
