My little novel Marathon Busto


The trainings have a reason to exist and not just to accustom your body to support certain rhythms at certain distances but also to store that in the race will be the theme of our whole performance.

When the mind knows its own shares will, where it can and must come, the pace is set by a navigation system that is your heart and you, and you are the only passenger, conscious of its limitations but also their ambitions.
But we come to today, the marathon is run in Bust of 3 km from my house, how could I ignore her and then a lot of friends to see and race together, 1 month ago the idea was born there but did not distort my training that, since I finally decided to take the plunge into the mountain races are set only on strengthening: ramps, staircases, all excursions and a little plain.
Here then at the start, on a day with leaden and the unknown beyond the arc rubbery that invites us to lay bare everything that everyone has in their heart and their will.
Start immediately "down" and 1 km flows in 4'20 ", the first 5 will take off the table at 4'18", looked at me and say ... too much Daniel, in the Lake Maggiore you went to 4'45 ".... then arrive at the 10th km in 43'05 "keeping the 4'18" medium, if I think my staff of 10 km is 42'30 "made in training now for over a year ago ... I still see my optimistic face and hear my breathing still silent ... well, let's claim so.
I will make meeting the 15 ... the ones that greet you with a grin of the most cruel of a novel by the end ... damn ... and here is where the soul for a moment is absent from the body and top, this time she looks at what remains of us to get to the end.
Here I have problems, first with the left calf and also the right to the 17th I am sorry, I feel them hard and I hope I'm not forcing them to stop, the lack of training for these distances and at this rate, begins to present his account, I understand that time is and I can not screw it up right now, missing 3 km and the arrival in town is from placebo to my physical problems.
The pace in the meantime had been a pirate trip and 4'40 "of the 17th I was then able to plug the leak with a sequence of 4'38", 4'34 and 4'31 "and then counter- my time with the 21 km in 4'11 ", 1000 meters faster than this beautiful journey, here I remembered one of my sentences," take every foot of a hill like the last breath "... today I did it, plain and in the last km as in the video of Take That I would continue beyond the arc arrival in search of my rainbow ... first of all because the challenge is always with ourselves about ourselves ... and our fears!
1h 33 '17 "Real Time, 2' and 43" best of the old Pb, I could be happy, right?
The satisfaction of running in the house is also to have some more encouragement in the path, and then I thank my colleague and above all my biggest fan, Maria her husband and of course, and then again Gianni Colombo, in the last 500m intent in his valuable work of "the flag man", who by their encouragement has certainly contributed to the performance today , mine and that of many other friends, this is beautiful, and it is even more beautiful and yelling his name among so many numbers.

Thank you!

Adventure Extra Box Red

In the previous post I mentioned a leaflet to download extra solo adventure from Wizards of the Coast website.

I just finished and these are my impressions. I will try 'to avoid revelations of the plot but to comment on the style.

First of all, not 'long.

The main theme and 'more than the red box: a person in trouble' to help. With two differences: one is' involved in the dispatch as PNG partner (if they survive so on. Etc.). And another and 'to take the job and' option without too much playacting, but of course if you refuse the adventure ends immediately.

adventure exploring alternative (with use of skills') in combat.

exploration and 'round brush, on the other hand elf thief with Jack of all Trades, the CD I eat them.

The first clashes we overcame them easily, there is' little to do D & D 4E and 'designed for group play, while the final battle and' LETHAL! I will not say 'who or what but one of the opponents makes a slaughter of damage, and when I say I intend to slaughter slaughterhouse . One of his attack, in particular, potentially Take down 'PG PNG and also in a barrel filled with PF alone.
I escaped by the skin of my ear-PG 5-PF and the PNG to 1, with the nuts that were not optimal (as in another encounter in which a critic with the PNG pulled down 'a brute at once) but merciful.

Oh and also the adventure has a fork and 'a true fork (or you can' get to the final battle in n different ways). This makes the single most played 'short, though I imagine that helps the replayability'.

Judgement: Not bad, but they continue to put the paragraphs in linear progression. Read "What would have happened if 'and' literally something that happens even if you try. Clearly these guys need to dive back in the 80s or even better if you take Joe Dever Lone Wolf has finished rewriting.

How Can I Fondue Without A Fondue Pot

New Box Red D & D4: review

Copertina
Background: I am one of many who have not only started playing D & D but the GDR in general thanks to the glorious Red Box, the Italian edition of EG, gift for my tenth birthday.
For this reason I will not ' from making too many comparisons of style. Even if I were in hand for the first time today that box, would not dream of me like I was the imagination of a child of ten years.
This
'said, let's open this new box with the cover exactly the same (nostalgia operation centered in the middle). We
:
two primers, but without color hardcover;
sheets and power cards in light card USOM (can 'seem less beautiful than the glossy, but it' immeasurably more 'easy to write);
cards character;
sheet of cardboard with markers, these high quality ';
double-sided map designed for maximum reusability';
flyer with the code for downloading extra solo adventure from Wizards of the site;
dice rather anonymous when we think of the varied range on the market, but unlike alas' a good part of the above varied range, the numbers are legible.

Workbook Gamer (First, read this book!)
The first thing that strikes us and 'the introduction. It tells us what and 'D & D, and it does quote her more' famous 'sons' electronics. Then we dive immediately into creating a character.
follows the adventure alone, and that 'more' that spiegone a big adventure. Of course, the amount of play rules 'full-bodied than the old Basic D & D and the choice of giving the possibility' of 4 classes was difficult to prove otherwise this number of pages.
Ruber 'Fiorella Mannoia and one way to tell' and that 'like drinking salted water: leaves with more' sense of playfulness that have already 'played. Pero 'This is a very positive thing if we consider that the red box aims to persuade a person who, ideally, has never heard of D & D, to involve a group of friends to start playing for real.
I tried to play the adventure alone in creating an elf thief.
the red box, the first of the new product line essentials, offers only 4 pre-generated PG and options of the first and second level, and some of them were then magazines, then as field-testing has its limits. This
'said the thief of the red box is not' so 'different from the thief of 4E. It has four powers at will 'in two attack and two of movement between the powers of attack chosen in turn includes a movement, and the other' a choice between a power which increases your defense by +1 and one that makes you move and push an opponent. The encounter power adds 3 damage to a sneak attack. The sneak attack and 'is marked as "once per round", evidently have included the correction later.
The feeling that 'is clearly that of a variant within the same plant.
The handbook addresses various issues of DM while in space succinct and contains an additional dose of rules from the Player's Handbook. Has an adventure ready to play and alternative ways of recombining the map to get new dungeons, definitely good for new players (although it seems a shame to cut it ...).
With a dose of monsters in the end, allows the DM to get the bones for a while 'to eventually move to hand over' complete.
Last Judgement: the starter set of 2008 would have to be so '. Good product introduction, longevity 'just enough to decide if the game takes you or not, but that' the purpose and the price and 'no doubt laudable.
