@quilteryoyo thank you! Yes! Back to it!
@Laurz9191 no... I mean, I knew what I was going for... Watch Napoli V Roma ⚽ and just eat eat eat!!!
Wife has been Italy many many times... But it's mostly been quite 'sanitised' eg Venice, Rome, Lake Como, Amalfi etc.
Napoli... Is not that. Lol.
I mean... There are parts of that city that are very much non-Dubai,Abu Dhabi Middle East or India.Like, some of the narrow roads.
Ambulance couldn't get through. Knocked this guy's stuff over... Good solid 5 mins. Full stereotype Italian shouting swearing and hand gestures (patient probably might not have made it)
Oh, and as for this gem... Lol 😂
If you know you know
At times hard to believe you were in a western G8 country4 -
@tarun_yadavA - We came across these loos a few times in little towns in France too. My husband loves to tease me about them because I found them a traumatic experience and the very last resort!2

6.5 sweaty icky miles this morning. But made monthly goal by the skin of my teeth. Hopefully May will allow more time to run.

@AlphaHowls amazing running! 🙌🏽
@Mari33a France?! Wow. Wouldn't have expected to see those there!
Saw those in two places... Dinky hole-in-the-wall bar Caffe type place in the old town and then at the Maradona Stadium.
Lol @ last resort. Agree!
Ok I guess for a bloke for a number 1 if you're standing up, I guess.
Shudder to think otherwise... 😱3 -

Same! I think the one that I encountered was in Naples.2 -
Finishing the month with 68.51 miles. Short of my 90 mile goal. I was completely unmotivated to run or work out at all this weekend. I did some painting at a house my dad is renovating so at least I had some purposeful movement. Congratulations to everyone who worked hard to accomplish their goals! On to May!
Yikes @ContraryMaryMary – I don’t know whether to congratulate you on the Trail HM or give my condolences on the earthquakes! Those falls are gorgeous! Looks like a great weekend - great photos!
Glad you are feeling better @martaindale. Hope the taste and smell return quickly.
Continued prayers for you and your mom @AlphaHowls. You continue to amaze and inspire me with all that you have going on and still keeping that streak alive.
Great food pics @tarun_yadavA – I would not be able to resist the cannoli.
Congratulations on your bike race!

Back from holiday in Azerbaijan. Had two runs since then, and am still tired. I now know that a nighttime flight is not for me as just one missed sleep kicks in so badly. But anyway, running is, like every after a break still not good but I hope things will be better tomorrow.8

Made it. On to May. Altho it's supposed to be rainy. 516 for the year running so far and 120 out of 110 goal for the month.
Had to push today as I wanted to avg 4 for the month but I had a lot of zero run days.

65.25/65 mile goal
Yesterday, I worked at the daycare all day. I went to the gym after work and then did a driveway wun after I got home. I did a 1/1 min run/walk and ran up the hills when it fell in the running min. It wasn't horribly hard, so I was proud of that.....it was slow though.
Today, I went to the gym early. This afternoon, I did a treadmill session. I had used my RTY tracker to calculate miles, so thought I needed to do 5 miles to make my goal. Turns out I had missed a quarter mile, so wound up with 65.25 miles for the month.
Today's run was 2/1 min at 4.2-5.6/4.0 mph, 37 sec at 6.0 mph. So, traversed 3.50 miles in 45:37 min for an avg pace of 13:02 min/mile. Avg HR was 130 with a max of 153, so not horrible and felt okay. If I hadn't needed it for the month total, I wouldn't have gone that far today. I guess that is why we set attainable goals. LOL9 -

137.12/130 miles completed for April
I took a rest day yesterday, and then ran 6 miles this morning to finish the month with 137 miles. It was humid this morning, but still pleasant overall. I saw my car in the yard when I ran by the collision place this morning, so I knew they were working on it. Then they called this afternoon to say it was ready. I was really glad to get it back. The rental car was ok, but it wasn't as nice as my car.
Congratulations to all who made their goal, and to all who worked on it! See you all over in the May thread.

Yeah @kgirlhart . Glad you got your car back and great running this month.3

I finished the month under my goal due to work. Just 138 out of 150 miles. Hopefully I'll get going again next week.
See you in May!8 -
Hi everyone! I was hoping to get to 160km this month, but woke up really dizzy the other day so didn’t run and ended April up short with 152.9/200km. Since I needed recovery that’s ok with me. I wasn’t really sure what would be obtainable right before and right after the marathon. We‘ll see if I can set an obtainable number for May…5
