best day ever

 Yesterday I did something I had not done properly since 2018.

I went running. Well, first I went to the gym, and then I went running outside with S, 4 miles (6km) at a pleasant pace (36 minutes overall).

It was amazing. I had not felt that good in so long. Fort those who were not reading, I used to run a lot, doing longer distances on weekends (12 miles usually), and then I screwed my left knee in 2018 and had a less than perfect surgery at the end of 2019. There have been previous attempts at running again, but none has gone well.

Yesterday I felt like flying. I stopped because I was afraid of overdoing it and of waking up today with a smarting knee, but I could have continued for further 6km without problems. I did not know I was this well trained honestly.

And today my knee does not hurt.

I do not think I can convey how I am beyond myself with joy.

new company in bed

So he doesn't have lung cancer.
at least that's good.

Working from Central Italy these days, nights spent at a lovely resort in the hills, total silence, sometimes a lovely, grey, slightly fat cat comes in to sleep with me. Adorable.
admittedly, I'd rather have hot nights rolling in bed with a big guy, but hey, one must be content with what whatever small joy life gives you right?
