Almost forgot to blog about my trip to Rome... well, it was a great experience and we were treated so well by everyone there... I ran 5:00 exactly, which was great... 16 minutes better than a year before... my friend said that if I keep on knocking off 16 minutes per marathon, with two per year I will be up to world record pace in a short time!!! just kidding!!!
My problem in running is food... I like it! and it likes me... what I eat stays with me...
The last 4k of Rome marathon were tough... they are generally uphill and on cobble stones and in crowded streets... Best moment was running past the Trevi fountain... it was really cool...
Great experience and nice medal... but once done... no need to come back again.
Upwards and onwards...

Baalbeck 6k Run
Sunday is going to be a bigger challenge than the Rome Marathon... since coming home from that race i have managed to run twice, other than that, to eat a lot of food, and it is beginning to show...
With Baalbeck Race on Sunday being held by the RRA and Veteran's Clubs it looks to be a lot of fun running in the ancient ruins of the Roman Empire... So I shall try to stagger round in a time of less than the 48 minutes allocated!!!
Hope to see you all there...
Next Marathon for me is Warsaw... training starts on May 1st - Labor Day... auspicious!!!
