w06/2011 - Calcaterra (2) Department

weekend, fortunately without competition, because I would not be able to express myself better, because a little, and I hope soon, the season of evil. The state of inflammation in part from the head and spreads to the body, also exacerbating the discomfort behind the knee. I hope that the condition of misery to evaporate in the coming days and the break-General encourages the recovery of the body. Public then the continuation of "Calcaterra" to maintain a decent profile and did not commit beyond, with the risk of becoming a Jeremiah.

George CALCATERRA an example to follow? No, because George is unique, a real phenomenon, but the lesson must be considered and applied wherever possible. In the weeks following the meeting almost jokingly told everyone that I had taken the "Calcaterra" in its mild form, fortunately, when friends were amazed to see me compete in continuity after the marathon of spring (Paris 11/04/2010 ), despite the discomfort in his left ankle, and usually I was taking too long period without competition to recover in peace, for example, in 2007 I have not raced for four months from the abundant Marathon Padova Half of the Brenta 4.22 to 09.02. I made a right and then to early June, then I prefer to train with calm during the summer and I returned happily to compete in September.

In 2010 I participated in 23 races or similar to these: 4 to 8-10km rural, 7 races of approx. 10km, a race of 10 miles, seven half marathons, two races of 30km, 2 marathons. Each had a sense of presence: the rankings of companies in the country pleasure to participate in competitions that I just repeat (StraVicenza, Maratona del Santo, 10 miles of the Roses, Half the Brenta, barbecues, 6 municipalities, meetings Lightning), the paths that I had walked earlier (Campolongo, Villafranca, Carpi) to those at presentation (Puro10'000, untie Lauf, Gardaland Half Marathon). Sometimes to please even the organizers, sometimes in person to experience the event from the inside. Maybe I lost some specific work to finalize the best performance - in fact they are not fallen below the time and 10 'in half - while maintaining a good total: nearly 4'900km 2'700km referred to in the last 6 months.

Sometimes I wonder if I can stand up to?

Blood tests last year are stable, stackable

• RBC 5.0 × 10 ^ 6/μL - HGB 15.6 g / dL - 46.0% HCT

in line with the precedents of the past 4 years (medium change)

• RBC 5.0 ± 0.1 - 15.7 ± 0.2 HGB - 45.5 HCT ± 0.7

Here at least there are no failures. Even in the muscles, tendons and joints, at least it seems: nothing special that can not be attributed to morphology is not perfect (just look at the tibia, associated with low arch), objective difficulties (the Achilles tendons scarified), on age. And so far so manageable.

I often moments of clarity, like Forrest Gump in Monument Valley after 3 years 2 months 14 days and 16h of uninterrupted running, and I think " are a bit 'tired! . Childbirth and then I go to run, if the thought comes over me when I'm at home, or continue to push, if they are already running.

I hope one day to have the same clarity and truly say " I am a little 'tired! " complete the sentence" I think I'll come home "and apply it without dragging on.
I continue to run, fast as I can, until the inspiration fuels motivation.
