My brother rented an AirBnB in Athens from May 19-24.
I am going to visit him there.
Booking through the Trainose App is the cheapest way. Except it would not accept my email account (it has accepted it before), so I made a new outlook account just for the Greek train. It worked.
Going to Athens May 20, back to Patra May 22
This morning there was a haze over the mountains north-west of Patras. The past 2 days and today wind from the west. This wind brings in humidity, which causes the haze. As spring progresses the humidity progresses so that in the near future sweating a lot is a fact of life.
Over the past 5 years I have had to make adjustments because of getting older: Run frequency, nutrition.
Run frequency: every 3rd day instead of every second day, because of physical recovery.
I am about 1 minute slower than 2 years ago. Interestingly I am now running 6 km instead of 4.8km.
That does not affect recovery time.
Nutrition: A lot less fruit (acidic, fructose) and because digestion is a lot slower, meat only on running days.
3 months ago, I changed from every 3rd day running to every 2nd day. I have had issues before with the 2nd day running: overtraining (hamstrings, calves). In a month going every 2nd day, my legs gradually felt heavier and tighter. Overtrained, again.
The past month running every 3rd day. Here the results: on top today,
on the bottom November 2021
38 seconds per mile faster......
Gravity is pulling mass (planets, stars, debri) from the smaller to the larger system.
The mountain range south of Patras, 10 days ago.
But today the Magnolia tree is almost flowering.
