Trying to encourage a more robust approach amongst my entourage to my pre-Tour training needs. There is a marked disinclination to undertake (or help me to undertake) what I consider the full range of muscular and physical activities that will see me in peak condition for late night strolls through Rome’s campi (bending my neck - to sniff; toning my neck - via sustained scratching and ear massage; core fitness - that’s achieved via tummy tickling and flank rubbing; endurance - long and varied walks...).
Since my fitness regime is clearly not being attended to, I have had to resort to the tried and trusted method of running up and down stairs. Some appropriate music to keep my pace up would have been welcome, but sadly my entourage appeared oblivious...
Only a shot of grappa might fully restore me - yet I find that my ‘bowl’ remains discouragingly empty.
