are 22:30. In less than 12 hours triggered the New York Marathon. The best known and most important marathon in the world ... and I am finally on the line of departure.
Even today, the emotions have changed, especially in the evening.
the hotel there is the confusion of the previous days. Everything seems orderly. Everything is silent. It seems almost 40,000 of the Marathon has given way to the individual who, locked in his loneliness, he begins to look within themselves the motivation, the serenity, the grit to face a challenge that few have the courage to groped.
For me that is the same. I just finished preparing my complete silence in the race tomorrow. I have attached to the bib shorts. I made the socks, shoes, and sack race to take the start tomorrow. Shower. And then they start all these little rituals (cream and massage on feet, knees and legs) that serve to make it clear to your body as you love him and that what we will live tomorrow is not a fury against him, but a way to enhance it for make proud to be "my body," ... to thank him for bringing me this far.
I want to celebrate the success ... a thousand times I've seen cut after that fateful milestone 42.195 Km ... a thousand times I have seen raising his arms to the sky ... a thousand times I've seen him smile crossed the line a thousand times ... and yet I have seen walking to New York in the evening with the medal around his neck ... with the pride of being "one of the few." Tomorrow is already here.
I have received many emails and text messages in recent days: Mom, Dad, Giorgia, Simon, Julia, Katie, Paul, Vito, Loretta, Beppe, Laura, Barbara, Maggie, Paul, Mark, Patrick. Thanks. I'll take you with me at the finish.
I can not tell what I did here today ... to my head, now, come just as I wrote above.
you tomorrow night ... which I hope will come soon soon J

-2. Now New York is full of runners and aspiring.
Near Central Park is hard to find someone who is not in running shoes, shorts and T-shirt ... even if it might be best to wear a sweatshirt. Today comes from the sea air ... cold air ... cold
relaxing day for me today. The preparation is over and legs have a couple of days of rest before 42.195 km drunk all in one go.
It 's a strange day because on the one hand, we should sit at the hotel to rest, the other six in New York and the desire to quit is great. After a brief conversation with the muscles of my legs, it was decided for an exit at about 12, with the walk but not too much so (and if possible use the subway as much as possible). A little 'shopping at the Apple Cube and FAO Schwartz (toy store opened in 1880), then travel to Ground Zero, to understand that air you breathe. And the atmosphere is breathtaking. It almost seems that here the chaos of New York stand aside, and people's words is used instead of the silence ... the silence of those who know what happened, but has not yet figured out why.
's time to return to base now. The legs were squeezed a bit 'too much.
Dinner at a Tuscan restaurant (we want healthy things to settle our stomachs) and go to bed early. Tomorrow is the eve ...

Nikon Flatbed Scanners I Adore This Book.
186 training, 48 weeks, 2096 km.
Rocky's music in the ears, in the last 3 minutes of this endless preparation warms the heart and brings tears because what matters is not the act itself (and in this case the gesture is to run a marathon), but everything there was to get here.
only a few, only those who really believe until the end, only for those who are unconscious that touch that makes the original life.
December 8, 2006: the beginning of a personal story, full of passion, dreams realized.
It 's the time of departure, the days seemed to pass ever last month.
flight with a stopover to and air exchange in Zurich. American Airlines despite ... the inconvenience of having to change planes in Zurich, traveling on an American airline on Halloween is an experience to remember: stewards and stewardesses are dressed as carnival, circle-shaped bat, cape and wizard hat, necklaces with pendulums shape of skulls. Travel
quiet. Arrive on time at JFK in New York. After the paperwork is being hurried to the hotel. The room is not much, but at least we are in the heart of Manhattan. A 5 minute walk from Central Park, next to Carnegie Hall, opposite the Carnegie Delicatessen, famous for Woody Allen among its customers.
hotel accommodation and, for those in New York on Halloween, can not miss the presence of the famous Halloween Parade in Greenwich Village. ... Thousands of people dressed in costumes from horror movies, infermierine sexy, beautiful floats ... the most is called The Pink Pussy Cats (and you can imagine why), provocative ladies and all that can be represented in form. Around 21 hours local (2 Italian time) will see the first yawn. We turn on his heels and with fellow travelers Giuseppe, Marco, Mario Miranda and Paul return to the hotel.
Goodnight!
