Tonight I went at my first lesson of Dance course with my clubmates. Teachers are Emil Lauri and his girlfriend Sofia. More than 20 pairs were there learning the first step of boogie woogie. I never did it before but , like the teachers said, I' m not so bad.
Shall I try with you next time?
Jätte roligt!

Now I know what it means running in a marsh.
Last w-e Smålandskavlen was held in Älmhult (the IKEA' s town): 2 legs on saturday night and 3 legs on sunday morning. When we arrived at competition center on saturday was raining and someone told me that it was all the week the same! We quickly checked last control and changing-area and we said  "licka till" to our night runners..
We slept in a huge IKEA' s guesthouse: I think they forgot the heating open and I couldn' t sleep very well. Luckly we slept 1 hour more because of standard time!
Next morning, already in the warm-up, I understood my legs (and first of all, my knee) weren' t ready for the coming 14km (last leg).
Seèro sent me out and I started with a medium pace and I manage to run without big mistakes (nothing to compare with Stockholm' s maps) until I reach again the finish area to begin the last loop (2.8km): there, I had no more power and I was passive everywhere!

My o-season ended yesterday: I have lot to sign up for the next one!

In the way back we found snow on the motorway and when I checked the thermometer here, at home, it was -4 °C!

Today, since 2 months, we went out (kl 18.30 4,5°C) running togheter. Togheter with black clothes and hats and white gloves..but also togheter with knee problems! Was a short run on ski-track but soon we' ll have a "family championships" in Night-O. Loser will wash the dishes..
P.S.:Si vede molto che le foto son finte?

First snow fell down in Idre (Dalarna) 2 days a go.
In the south of Stockholm we have a small "ski resort" : a nice slope with lighting system. With my snowboard and with 25min bus I' ll be there..
It' s like a dream!

After a deep analysis at 25manna map I found something strange: where these contours go?













I thought only in Italy could happen..

While our car is still at mechanician, Sero found this "Smart for poor people" and he will drive it to work without any parking problems! It' s cool, isn' t it?

Since 2 weeks I' m using Mozilla Firefox as browser instead of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
I heard that someone wasn' t able to see some pictures in the previous posts.
Now the last 5 posts are OK!
We' ll try in the future to verify the correct layout also with IE.
But it' s better if you change browser, that's for sure!

We started having fun just outside the port with long-jump into bushes (the Jukola' ones) and climbing up some flag pole with our last energies..
Once in the ferry, we had only time to have a shower and we were already in a huge dinner-buffet with any kind of food and free drinks for 2 hours (untill the guards came and kicked us outside!).
Later, on the karaoke dance floor, I couldn' t repeat my "Sommartider" performance 'cause I had no time during the previous weeks to learn the text.
When the party started, Mini and I went upstairs on the big-70/80's-dance floor checking if it was better: but an annoying girl began to stick fluorescent stars on our foreheads and we left immediately.
Once again I have lost Seèro: luckly, in a refueling in my room, I found him in his bed (alone)!
After a big discussion with the dj (he played only xxxxxxx finnish song) we could show the Ifk Lidingö' s tema for this trip: dressing up as well-known people!
I don' t know why but I slept very well (probably 2 hours?) on this way back..

Friday night we left Stockholm direction Vartsala-Salo Finland to compete in Halikko Viesti: a 15men relay with some special rules (like 25manna) in a beautiful terrain!
I didn' t sleep well on the ferry and I had to wait for my start (last-leg runner 2nd team) more than 5 hours standing up with temperature around 5°C..
My team coudn' t send me out before 3pm and thus I had to start in the mass-start for all the remaining runners. I was a bit sorry but as soon as I was in the forest I started enjoying the course! Already on the way to 2nd control a long queue runners took shape: speed wasn' t so high and I decided to stay in the first position and "playing" with everything under control. At least it was a good training!
On the way to last control, where all my clubmates waited for me playing with carrots(a prelude to coming hours), I have increased my speed a bit and I reached the finish as first..a little consolation!
Also Sero went well running 2nd leg in my same team.
Kalevan Rasti won again after 25manna, Vehkalahden Veikot was 2nd and MS Parma took bronze.
Ifk Lidingö SOK 1 ended 16th and we were 65th.
It was my second time in Finland: I feel always good when I'm running, reading perfect maps and also probably because of all the fun around competitions!

Last august my mum has forced to me and we went in the town at hairdresser (beautiful norwegian girl) and I left my "long" hair in that shop.
Now I needed a fixed and I found my "brother" Sero a good barber. He has a "good hand" and also he' s not so expensive!
In the end I tried new hair style..I have to be ready when I'll dress smart jacket and pink tie!

On saturday night all 25manna's runners (500 people or more) went at Allhuset (Stockholm Universitetet) for a great party. Ifk Lidingö was the biggest group there: we won definetly that competition!
Finnish clubs weren' t there: they had huge banquet on the ferry back to Finland.. But next saturday it will be our turn! Ocio Sèero!

Last tuesday, in a mass-start training, I learned on my skin that if you want go away from a pack you need fit legs and clear in your mind every meters of your own route choice.
At this moment I' m not well trained and since 2 weeks I feel also pain on my knee.
Nevermind..
Yesterday I ran 25manna in the last leg (as usually) for Ifk Lidingö SOK 2nd team. My team, during the race, climbed up from 166th (1st leg) to 71th when Linda sent me out in the forest. Last leg was 8,5 straight (no gaffling): I understood already on the long way to the first control that I was together with other 4 runners. The train went very well in the begin and we caught up other "wagons" (at half competition we were around 10 people) in the long way back to the spectator controls. But in the last loop only 6 were there fighting! I was very tired and I knew that run-in was long..I punched last control and then I started pushing hard trying to catch the OK Tranan's runner: mission failed! We ended 68th..

Kalevan Rasti won after a big tet-à-tet in the last leg with Södertälje Nykvarn. 3rd was Stora Tuna IK.
Ifk Lidingö SOK 1 finished 16th staying in the first position untill 6th leg. Ifk Moras OK (with J.Rass) was 9th and Eksjö SOK (with J.Benini) was 112th.

Today Jonas Rass, with a solid race, took 9th place (H18E) in Silva Junior Cup. Grattis!

This morning came the electrician to repare my parabola-box and now I can see a lot of channels from all over the world: Al Jazeera, EuroSport, Telemarket, RaiAfrica, CNBC Europe, 3 Channel (chellè de pisa?), The church Channel, TБH Russia, Napoli TLA, TeleRoma, Sicilia Internation, RaiSportSat, Sky, Fashion TV, CNN, BBC and hundreds more.
But I don' t understand why more than 400 channels (on 1000) are Arabics: tomorrow morning I will scramble up on the roof and I will turn parabola a litte bit..

Last Friday (29th sept) I bought 4 mozzarellas.
That night I cooked Pizza using 2 of those.
Yesterday I have noticed that expiration date was 21th september.
This morning, ready for fighting, I went in the supermarket. But, surprised, the shop-assistant has changed the last 2 pieces without saying nothing!

Well done guy!
50% of mistake was mine: but I think you need a new pair of glasses!

Yesterday night I went in a corridor party in Lappis (a huge campus close Universitetet).
This is usually way to have fun and meet people in university period. Even if I' m not still student I enjoyed anyway the party.

What you'll find:

-kitchen and livingroom transformed in dance floor;
-chairs and sofas in the corridor;
-possibility to go in the bed rooms (if you are lucky knowing the owners);
-musics and light and smoke effects like in a discodance.

What you need:

-own drinks;
-smile fixed in your mouth.

Probably 60% of people were italian erasmus guys. Why? Italian people love parties!
