Is Angela Pitts Bahamian

exploratory Gemina ... Long &

On February that still missing today is the day though! winter sun and almost 10 ° C. ..
is not easy to find an alternate route for many kilometers, or do the coastal road running alongside cars whizzing at high speeds, or take your car and walk on the plateau: improved air and nature!
The idea is, however, leave home, and a shortcut (thanks Andrea!) Maybe I can combine into a single output Barcola & Plateau for a very long view. Long to tackle alone, so the pace will be only mine, and since they are "free" to stop at will, I bring the little compact that you enter in the door drinking bottle instead of water fountains along the way there.
From home I headed to Barcola ground and after 8.2 km above sea level just before Grignano played right into the train station in Miramar. Behind the binary starts a path leading to the pond to Contovello Prosecco and after 15 minutes and 1.5 I find myself at 252 meters above sea level! The Nature Trail ends at Contovello pond, with benches and ducks, but now it is time to take a break ...


I would look for a trail bike but in fact this summer after I lost a couple of dead-end streets to turn back, I turn around and head for the good old Napoleon. It seems to be in the center at rush hour: it's Sunday and people Stroll on this scenic trail is really a lot! I slalom between dogs, strollers and a lot of people came up to the Obelisk Opicina. I often stop to take pictures and when I look at the city from up here, I can only think that to run on Napoleon I have always taken the car look at the houses at the bottom, I do not see is behind the hill, but I'm really away from home and walking ... the Lighthouse there is a good reference to understand where I am: back then the photographer from below ...


Meanwhile the day, which initially appeared to be sunny and serene, now veiled and even pulls some air ... retraced my steps and then take the path that brings me back to sea level. I must say that the steps uneven and covered with wet leaves and moss are much more reassuring on that down:-S
traces the coast of Barcola and, after a few kilometers (around 25th) beginning to acknowledge the principles of calf cramps: certainly pay the few outlets in recent weeks and the lack of training: sometimes walking, I stop to do some stretching and get some relief in the legs. House really does seem far away ... Review under the Lighthouse: a different perspective ... :-O last few miles of pavement and traffic and I'm home at last!

Saucony - Progrid Ride 3 includes more than a month ago, but between one thing and another I had to try out for only a short ... after 3 years I use only Asics, decide it's time for a change and try something else, also because in recent months I had problems with blisters :-( long And the output of today has left me very satisfied ;-)
