Notes from the 02 of October, 2011. Present location,Totoriy G. 10-6 44236 Kaunas, Lithuania. Time is 05:42:56 when I started of on my daily routines. Yesterday running in the woods of Kaunas a couple of clicks north of the "Klinika" (Lithuania for clinics). Running in 3.45 min/km. Approaching the favorite place (so far). The scenery: a very petite and small canyon with a small footbridge in the middle - over an small stream - where there is absolute silence and calm. The green roof of leaves - from the trees, shelter this place, just a couple rays from the morning sun reaches the ground in a striped pattern. While the fresh "not polluted" air from factories or traffic, are as authentic and real it can be, In each breath of fresh air. Deep inside my arteries and veins - in the respiratory system. My foot steps - makes a muffled sound - thump, thump! when approaching the small footbridge, over the tiny stream. If you have seen the movie, The quest for finding "The Holy Grail" - by Monty Python. There is a scene where the Black Knight guards the crossing over a small brook. Then you now how narrow it is. But in the same time, the surroundings are so mystic - a fantasy world in contrast to the real urbanized world of the city - not far away. Posterior (medical term) of the tiny brook there is a tortuous narrow trail up to the top of the small canyon, it reaches all the way to an natural platform. Where there is everything you need for training your body in a muscular way. The steep trail is perfect, so you can forge ahead in high speed letting the arms oscillate  - to put the arms in action - so you can keep the momentum (velocity and mass) - Biomechanics in practical terms.Yesterday I meet an athletic looking man named Alex, with his young companion Bricka - a Rhodesian Ridgeback (One year old, birthday today). Alex had a perfect tight hand shake and focused stare. Very disciplined and strict - probable background in the military or police. To focused and fit for "not" to be an member of a task force or dog handler, recording due to the choice of dog. He is  regularly at this place - training. I guess we will run in to each other on a regular basis - we had a good contact, a disciplined gentleman.
