So I've been running a lot. Which is really good! I run everyday with people now. Some days with the triathlon club, some days with the track team. Either way, I'm no longer running by myself. My first day of track was really good. Long run, not to hard. Second day: hard! I mean, I was dying a little. Plus I had the cruel realization that I wouldn't be able to get up in the morning. That was true. It was very hard to get up on Saturday for school.
Sunday, I got to do a 6k fun run benefiting the handicap association of Gorizia. I had a ton of fun just running with my friends. I also got to run in Slovenia for half of the race.
It's so cool being next to another country. You don't feel any different but you notice the distinct differences in the way the houses are built to the stoplights. (Fun fact: The stop lights in Slovenia are like drag lights. They go red, yellow then green to go. I feel like a drag racers sometimes.)
This weekend, I get to go to the Festa di Zucca!(Pumpkin Festival) From what I've been told, everything is pumpkin themed. So I'll eat some pumpkin, chuck a pumpkin and maybe take a picture or two with a pumpkin. :)
Then next week, I get to go to Verona. Juliet's balcony!!! Ahhh!!! I want a picture of it so badly. You can tell I'm a hopeless romantic here. We're going to stay with friends of Marco and Claudia who are from Russia. Russians living in Italy. I'm very curious about their accent.
For the next two weeks, it feels like I'll be running around Italy with my family. Still, what a great way to see Italy and spend it with my host family. I will for sure post pictures.
