Running is coming back on my way

Posted in Me, myself and my world, The people of my world, tagged , , , , , , on September 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Running-wise I had a very fruitful August.. First came Murakami with his inspiring book about running, then Tozama forced me and Sara to follow his athletic schedule during the Greece vacation (we founded the “Khalkidiki Running Team”!), finally came the new Nike+ Human Race appointment and a medical approval for running to my wife’s knees.

With unforgivable delay (let me tell you: WordPress app for iPhone really sucks!) I’m here to post some pics about the last 4 days of our vacation.
We left Chanioti, got back to Thessaloniki and got a fast ferry for Alonissos island, in the Sporades archipelagus.
We’ve been hosted by the kindest person in the world Mihalis [...]

After the Safran Foer Odissey I was getting a little numb about the outside world, so Sara and the Tozamas convinced me to go out with them, Rosita’s mother, Rosita’s sister Natalia and her boyfriend Davide on their mother’s boat for some old style fishing. I have to admit I was not that interested at [...]

When I go to the seaside I become a book-addicted, doing nothin but readin all day. Today I’m reading “Extremely loud & incredibly strong” by Jonathan Safran Foer.. It’s like a job: from 11 til 19, without distractions, not even for eating.. My wife and friends have a lot of patience with me..

Running is an old friend of mine, now getting back the center stage of my holiday agenda, thanks either to Tozama (“in Greece we’ll go for a run everyday!” and you know Tozama when he makes up his mind..) and this little funny book from Haruki Murakami, who put down in words his thoughts about [...]

In the Calcidic peninsula

Now that’s what I call an ideal schedule: wake up at 10am, quick coffee and cake, then 45 min running with Sara and Tozama, while Rosita plays the viola at our small, lovely apartment in Moudania, in the Calcidic peninsula.. Then we take a bath in the sea (really enjoyable after running), we go uptown [...]
