First run of the season

Spring is coming late here, and I've been quite busy working and traveling all around, so besides a few short runs in Rome with my girl, this was the first true run of the season.
I choose a short (about 10Km) but challenging road, very steep for the first 4km, and yap, I can confirm I'm not really in my best shape :-)). Once on top, I met an old guy (in a very remarkable shape :-) who taught me a few new roads, so we had a short walk together while talking. The short walk ended up to be about 4km, and I had to get back, so overall my 10Km plan ended up as 18Km at a slower pace. I'll spare you the obvious similarity with software project schedules :-). I burnt about 1350 kcal, which isn't that bad.
A few things the old guy said reminded me a discussion of static and dynamics in Lila, from Robert Pirsig, probably better known for his masterpiece Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. Must have been all that oxygen flowing through :-)). Anyway, one of the roads I learnt today tops at over 750m; I'll try that once I'm in a better shape...

Coraggio, ce la puoi fare...
 
Farcela ce la faro' di sicuro. No doubts :-).

In realta' il difficile non e' arrivare sino li', e' avere la forza di tornare indietro... :-)
