When Is Weight Dangerously Low




My Half Marathon Vigevano: wood flour


Yesterday, taking advantage of the return of spring and smiling almost summer weather I decided to come back to beat the race after jogging a lot 'of years. Since there was Stramilano that practically runs under my house and I 'seemed very logical to go instead to Vigevano to corrrere half of Vigevano. And there was a half-wit in Ragusa 'I would not pass up. In fact I did not want to run in the middle of old friends Canoe, so I was ashamed of how I would go up. So 'I found myself on the steps of the stadium in Vigevano in the middle of one of the larger groups' number of Canoe in recent years. Not bad for someone who wanted to run incognito.

The idea was then to run with my brother, being more 'younger than I am of no less than 995 days (Mica few), runs like a hare and he promised to accompany me on this return. Kind of you: between us but there's no competition 'to me' knows' why 'and' came to an overflow of bile, which are still green in the face when he beat my personal (dating back to 1935 or so. .. there was me and Dorando Petri) Trecate in 2009. So it 's nice to run with him now that I politely said, "We ride together quiet, I'll take with you .. I'm glad we do not want to fatigue." Cosi 'with the Pride in the heels I decide I am going to give' everything in fact, more ', to make him see the "Bocia.
Leaving the stadium and 'beautiful: there was an inflatable one hand (departure) and a side opposite (finish). I must say that I struggled to resist the temptation to stick to just one lap and cross the finish line with arms raised, shouting like a madman to the amazement of the crowd. The rest
'a good run in downtown Vigevano (no traces of the master) and in the surrounding countryside in a lush spring gray and brown.


The lap before traguardo.Di next to me: my brother just behind: Pinocchio burned in the sprint.

My race and I have to say 'was much better than expected. Usually those who arrive at the very base of the podium winning the medal of wood. Well I must say that I too have defended : Vigevano fact I won the wooden legs. Have kindly handed me the 16th kilometer (strange, before arrival). I tried to refuse the kind gift of the organization but they insisted. So 'from the 16th kilometer, with the calves at regular intervals were transformed into lovely mahogany touches do, I ran into the category puppets and, again, I have defended very well. I beat the sprint Pinocchio and two Sicilian puppets.
My brother ran with me, except for the refreshment stop twice, twice to pee '(I think even once to make the population'. But before he bought the newspaper and if it is' brought into the process chemical 'cause if he does not read at least page three culture throughout the entire the Courier and the Press ... not produce), he was wrong and three crosses and 'stopped at a mill to buy two 10 kg bags of flour Vigevano good that he brought with him' at the finish. In all this 'and' party with me and crossed the line just before me (with 2 sacks in the newspaper under his arm and shoulder). Then he dodged Pinocchio
arrival and gave me a pat on the shoulder with floured hands (with your legs straight and I am cast as a fallen face down '), saying "because you finally started to corrrere and already' do races together that 'we the same? " Eh .... I'm

soddifsazioni.

Dermabrasion Bei Rosacea



Again dell'Oltrepo Hills' covered with snow (March 13!)

Also on Saturday a little after nine in Stratford are to attack another ride to the hills of Emilia.
E 'less cold than a week ago but there' a slight breeze. Why not keep well covered, at least up to Santa Maria La versa. Here ends the slight slope uphill running from Stratford and the road starts to climb with reasonable slopes.
This road that winds through the hills to the pass of Mount Caramel I really like. E 'sun and warmth this morning helps when everything around the fields are still covered with snow. And 'no traffic, only some local motorists and, occasionally, some tractor. E ' panoramic: is screwed along the ridges of the hills and can look 'is always room to embrace everything around him and appeninni Penice over there' over the pass.



From Passo del Carmine

This time extension is a bit 'route. After the passing of Carmine reach Zavattarello (in which signs itself as "One of the most 'beautiful villages in Italy" ... but he is right). The program included a detour to the Tree Tower and then back up to the carmine from the west side. But I can not find the way and then "turn around" and face again the curves of the malleable Step. Salir ein middle of the fields covered in snow with the blue sky that stands behind the hills and 'beautiful and the effort will bear much more' easily.


What self-timer!

A Ruin opt for a left turn and descend toward the valley floor. No particular reason, just to ride a little more 'in height. In fact, these streets are disengaged from the provincial and fall are very intriguing: a few kilometers of slopes and hairpins dry sometimes not negligible (8-10%) ideal for early season training.

Return to Stratford and 'fast as usual (about 35-37 kmh) but this time the slope of 2% and' to please and very helpful.

the map around

After a bit 'more' than 3 hours are back to the machine: about 79km and more 'of 1330 m of climbing. Another really nice output: for this Saturday I made full of light, air, sun and long horizons and colorful.

Heart Murmurs And Antidepressants





FIRST EXIT TO RISE IN 2010: FROM STRADELLA A STEP BACK AND CARMINE

After a bit 'of cycling strictly flat and boring it was time to bring some' wheels on a slope.
The day 'ideal: clear skies and bright sunshine. Too bad that it makes a great cold. Approaching Stratford in the car I can not but notice some ominous puddles completely frozen.
usual parking spot and attack on the gentle slope leading from Stratford to St Mary the Versa. It 's a fairly monotonous stretch, with a 2% slope, but that's fine as heating. Today, then, because the climate, there is' really needed it.

From Santa Maria poured the fun begins. Finally, you climb. All around the fields have not yet been exposed the sun is covered with a white frost but it seems that in reality ', as seen from near and' snow. The residue of angry snowstorm that hit the Oltrepo 'yesterday afternoon.


Tuscany? No, it goes beyond '!

The climb to Crocetta and 'very pleasant throughout the sun (as most of this route), and with a gradient of all pedaled. Ideal as a first ascent of the year.

Crocetta From coast to proceed with gentle ups and downs. I started very early this morning (I was riding to 9) but since the cold many riders opted for the late morning : Pedal in perfect solitude and silence almost absolute.

The snow on the fields looking towards the Penice Step by Carmine

reached the pass of Mount Caramel I throw myself down to Casa Marquis: This and 'the tipping point. The descent requires much attention in the shadow point, there are patches of snow and ice on which 'easy to slip. It 's not the time to knock the "Savoldelli. A valley around the bike and returned to Stratford now facing uphill the soft curves of the pass road of Mount Caramel.

Soriasco seen Crocetta

After the climb to step back and 'ups and downs in all a pleasant downhill trend. Along the return encounter many cyclists who have opted for a time less "aggressive" and enjoy the warmth of the sun. But down in the air and 'cold, we are just above zero and heavy jacket Rapha (with the attached long pants and sweater) does his duty very well. It 'funny how every cyclist knows how to interpret the art in its own way of cover in winter meet some that are harnessed as Amundsen (with a neoprene face masks) and others, perhaps undecided at the start, but which are not covered very vistosissime have humps, apparently concealing heavy jackets for the time not yet used.
The last 15 km from Santa Maria are poured into a slight slope drittone that I drink to 35 media (yes, thank you .... there 'descent ..).
While I'm putting my bike in the car of a colleague is leaving his foot from them '. Greets you, of course. He goes: I already have for today 'and gave me really enjoyed it. 62km and about 1100 m in altitude for an average of just under 25 mph.
The season starts rose in the best way.
