The day before departure ...
Today is the eve of the great start, the big dream. What? To participate in the more 'largest and most prestigious marathon ... one of the "Big Apple" ... in New York.
Today is the eve of the great start, the big dream. What? To participate in the more 'largest and most prestigious marathon ... one of the "Big Apple" ... in New York.
An illusion chased years and is finally coming true, and this shows that sometimes ... thoughts become things.
Tonight I find myself here at home, alone, to write a few lines in my feelings before leaving and tomorrow, when I read, I ... with my thoughts and my expectations, I'd be right ' flying over the ocean with half the capital of capital.
Avro 'some dear friends at my side ... Gennaro Giorgio, Raffaele Carmine and simple people ... and for that stunning, which will share' moment by moment the dream is coming true.
E 'a particular period of my life ... I feel the need to have at hand "by my side" ... humble friends and generous ... and they really are!
Even now I feel in me the excitement of race day ... I think at the moment ... I will start, humble and middle distance runner of a city average, almost 40 souls lost between different nationalities, races, religions and cultures ... all together for the same great passion and with a single goal to the finish .. serenenamente in the sign of brotherhood and friendship.
will be some more minutes of 'intense and concern of my life ... no thank you' never have enough people who have allowed me to feel those emotions ... I think my passion for running and my stubbornness wanting to participate in at least (but hopefully not the last) a year ... I think of dear friends who will accompany me and to all those who from a distance I will devote even a single moment of their thoughts ... I think much as the person most 'in my life, my wife Rita, who has always encouraged me to explore new sensations and emotions for my second love ... dedicated to the symphony of her shoes on the pavement in New York ... seconds before departure, his hug and his smile will be part of me, and intimately, will accompany me throughout the week "made in USA".
November 1 at 9:00 from the Verrazano Bridge, I'll be 'projected towards the goal of 42,195 km at an average, I hope, of 04.27 'to km ... another step to achieving a goal that I aspire to get under 3 hours ... ... with a half-century of life on the shoulders!
Running is a wonderful sport that teaches you to live the emotions of life and makes you part of a 'single great soul.
The "Big Apple" is on the horizon ....
