Yet another c25k report :)
As stated on their website, C25K is a fantastic program that’s been designed to get just about anyone from the couch to running 5 kilometers or 30 minutes in just 9 weeks. I completed it in 6 weeks and 3 days but I was not a true potato couch, though. :) I don’t have a [...]
A week in Belgium
This post contains a few pictures of Brussels and Leuven… though the whole thing was nearer to nine days than a week. :) Brussels Buildings in the Grand Béguinage of Leuven The Town Hall of Leuven My talk during AWEC2011 Group portrait… I was late so you can find me in the red circle :)

It’s not a meeting
A year later, the truth is gone and the love is gone too. Reading John, waiting for Richard, regretlessly looking through my faults: the Princess is not on her sand anymore while the sea remains almost the same.
Southern border
Even though the most Southern place of my life is somewhere between the latitude of Joshua Tree National Park and Newport Beach in Southern California (say, 33° North), regarding my Country, I’ve never been further south than Rome since a few days ago when I visited Crotone. Where is your Southern border? :) Update (2011-10-30): [...]
Wooden bricks
