Wk7 R1 Under Sicilian Sun

Last year I made it to week 6 and then life got in the way.

I started again and this morning I managed the first run of week 7. At home I have to run up and down the hills of the vineyard, here there is a nice flat road. Although the camber of the road plays havoc with my foot.

The fun will come when I am back at school and I try to find time to run...

Happy Holidays peeps

Road camber plays havoc with ankles. I avoid it as much as possible.

Week 7! :) Not long to go now :)

Wishing you many happy miles in your future :)

Hi Irish John

My app said today was a fast run, to be honest I think I prefer my hills which slow me down. I thought about running down the centre of the road, after all the Italians are as likely to run you over no matter where on the road you run 🤣

It's like Ireland on the back roads so. Drive along the middle - sure that way you can swerve to either side to get by the incoming guy who is also driving in the middle 😂😂😂

This sounds really bizarre, but not too many Sicilians appear in my world :) So a "casting a virtual message in a bottle into a huge ocean" - you wouldn't happen to know a Sicilian lady named Silvia who attended an Anti-Nuclear Rally in Ireland in 1979?

Longest of long shots but... :)

No but I am married to a Sicilian. We are visiting The Family at the moment....

Horses heads and all that stuff

I've always wondered where they put the rest of the horse 😂

Sandwiches, horse meat steak etc

Not kidding, horse meet is very expensive

Had it in France. If you didn't know what it was, you'd not think it :)

True, just try not to think of Dobbin the horse and Red Rum 😂😂

Shergar!!!

God, I remember the searches for poor Shergar back home. And later on all the jokes.

I have one firm rule in life, based on rather traumatic experience involving rich Germans and pig heart valves.

If you like something new you are eating in a different environment - don't ask what it's made of.

To illustrate :
