I finished Philadelphia Marathon today. It was my 4th run in the City of Brotherly Love and I plan to go back there soon. On mile 20 of all my runs I tell myself: "why are you doing this to yourself, it hurts, I will never do it again". On mile 27 I say: "that was fun, I can't wait for another one".
Sometimes people ask me: "how do you do it to run 26.2 miles under 4 hours at your age?". My answer is: " the secret is poor memory. I run first 13 miles and usually there is a line and a bunch of screaming people. I forget the first half and just run 13.1 miles like I just started. It's easy, anyone can do it.

Just a reminder :)

"Non hai bisogno di caffè; hai bisogno di dormire.
Non hai bisogno di nicotina; hai bisogno di camminare.
Non hai bisogno di ubriacarti; hai bisogno di ridere a crepapelle.
Non hai bisogno di sesso sfrenato; hai bisogno di connessione.
Non hai bisogno di urlare; hai bisogno di esprimerti.
Non hai bisogno di trangugiare; hai bisogno di ascoltare.
Non hai bisogno di droghe sintetiche; hai bisogno di arte.
Non hai bisogno di stimolanti; hai bisogno di un abbraccio.
Non hai bisogno di TV; hai bisogno di poesia.
Non hai bisogno di comprare; hai bisogno di Natura.
Non hai bisogno di giudicare, hai bisogno di entrare in empatia.
Non hai bisogno delle religioni; hai bisogno di fare domande.
Non hai bisogno di un partner; hai bisogno di amor proprio.

Hai bisogno di te.
Ho bisogno di me.

Al di sopra di tutto hai bisogno di pace interiore, il che richiede armonia tra l'interno e l'esterno.
Fai quello in cui credi e credi in quello che fai.”

A STAR IS BORN - yesterday myself and three of my friends and colleagues participated in a historic event, the very first class of a brand new massage modality, MYOFASCIAL BIO REJUVENATION (TM) taught by Master Teacher and creator of MBR, Howard Mermelstein, LMT. In one day I learned more about treating pain and disfunction than in last 20 years. If you liked my massages before, try me now, and you might be surprised :)
