Bonum Cursum

This year feels different in my country, Utopia. There’s a new energy in the air — a sense that things might shift quietly, bringing fresh chances and new beginnings. I’m not really into politics, but even I can feel the subtle changes around me. People seem hopeful, waiting to see what the future holds.

Summer this year is unusual — dark and changeable, with sudden showers and long, cool evenings. It’s the kind of summer that invites you to slow down, to chill in the garden with a good book or just enjoy the soft hum of nature around you. I’ve been spending time with my girls, exploring nearby regional places, soaking up the simple, lovely moments that make life so rich. The pace is slow, relaxed, and peaceful — a perfect balance to the quiet anticipation of what’s coming next.

This month, I’m taking a break from races, focusing instead on long-distance training. Maybe October will bring a season full of joy and racing, with new energy and challenges to embrace. And quietly, there’s something new on the horizon for me — a little secret that makes this time feel even more special.
