In Italy we have a say...

[secan]

... that you could roughly translate with "whatever you do the first day of the year, you'll do for the whole year".

With that in mind, your homework for tomorrow is to go for a pleasant run, spend some quality time with your loved ones, spend some more quality time with your partner (you know what I mean, don't you? 😉), have fun, eat well but not "too well" and finally have some well deserved rest.

Have a great 2017... but one day at the time, as it is much easier that way.

Ciao,

Saverio

[runmelrun Graduate]

My one plan for tomorrow is a run!

[secan Graduate in reply to runmelrun]

That's a good start but don't forget all the rest...

[runmelrun Graduate in reply to secan]

the food family and friends bit is a given

[McFitty Graduate]

It's my rest day tomorrow but I'll be doing all the rest and taking the doglets for a long hike Happy New Year Saverio!

[secan Graduate in reply to McFitty]

Rest day or not, I would try to fit in a short 5-minute run, just for the sake of superstition... 😁

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate]

Start the year as you mean to go on - I REALLY hope I can run tomorrow. Happy New Year, Saverio - was great to get to know you this year😎

[secan Graduate in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

That was great for me too; 2016 has been a quite difficult year for many reasons but it's also the year I "met" all of you and for that it will always be a special year for me.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Saverio.. there you are... !

We have always used that phrase in our family... and I intend doing exactly that...

Our family this year is extended.. I am Grammy floss now.. so part of tomorrow will be sent with the new small one..

Wishing you a healthy, happy and peaceful new year... we miss you ..

Felice anno nuovo.... Love Flossx

[secan Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I *must* see a picture of you, pushing a stroller at parkrun!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to secan]

It is on the cards as we speak...I am already clocking up at least nine miles a day walking with her !!!! And that includes my running and rest days !!!! She is a little gem! x

[Davoda Graduate]

Good saying - thanks!

(But I hope I don't spend the rest of the year on a boat!!!😉)

[Ullyrunner Graduate]

Sounds like the perfect recipe for the day!

Happy New Year Secan!

[Biscuit0107 Graduate]

Sounds like great advice to me! I have a New Years Day parkrun tomorrow, we're hosting my parents and their friends for lunch and then I plan to spend the evening with my husband 😉

Happy new year to you, I hope things are working out well back in Italy.

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate]

Happy New Year Saverio...😊xx

planning to get running soon. Almost over a chest infection..

[LonelyWalker Graduate]

Ah, wise words indeed! But maybe that is why I never seem to have a good year?! Today will be spent with some of the family (already splintered for the start of the year) while trying to keep the peace and keeping my fractured sanity!

Happy New Year, always look forward not back... xx

[Realfoodieclub Graduate]

Secan thank you. For some reason I woke up with the grumps this morning, you've given me every reason to not stay grumpy. Happy new year to you.

[boptillyoudrop49 Graduate]

Happy New Year! How are things going? Do you feel settled back home now?

[secan Graduate in reply to boptillyoudrop49]

Well, all boxes have been unpacked and finally all the administration has been done.

Today was supposed to be my first day at the new job but the boss did not show. I've waited for almost two hours, locked outside in an unusually frosty morning, then I went home as he did not answer my phone calls... let's see how it goes tomorrow.

Apart from this hiccup, everything else is fine and I maintain a positive outlook on the future.

[boptillyoudrop49 Graduate in reply to secan]

Wow that's some (non) start! Hope your boss actually turns up and the job is enjoyable although the first few weeks you're always still finding your feet.

[Shivani05 Graduate]

Ahhh I did not read this post earlier or I would have definitely run yesterday. Instead I worked (I'm an odd bird who likes to work on Sunday). But I did run today.

Happy new year to you!
