If there is enlightment at the destination, I like to find ways to get there. 
I swear I am not rich :o… But I sacrifice other things that I find less “necessary”.
I could be considered lucky in some ways … but I am not sure I believe in luck any more.
p.s. John, if I am cosmopolitan, then what is your son L who went EVERYWHERE?

Verryyyy sore on my left calf. I didn’t do too much today, I thought it would cramp on every step.

A skips, etc.

A little “technique running” on grass and cool down.
Very friendly italian coach named Pino approached me, I can’t believe I had a conversation all in italian, because he didn’t speak a word of English.
He looked interested in coaching me and commented on my ““very good technique”” (double quotes because I know what needs improvement…), I just wish I knew the language well enough to talk more in detail with him, and perhaps he can help me out with supervising or whatever… (Or I wish he knew at least 10 words of english =))
Perhaps I will look up the key phrases I need and talk again with him tomorrow… :rolleyes:
But from the 3-4 italian coaches I’ve spoken to so far, he “clicked”. It’s an instinct thing… :o
p.s. Somebody pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaseeee tell my mom to stop telling me to quit track … =( (although I think she got the message today, but then I thought so other times as well…). She’s a great mom and all, btw.
