Dune trailer! So good!

I can identify all the scenes in the book except one: when Paul screams in pain (?) near the end of the trailer (around 2:18).

Any help?

[silviacouto]

I just realized that there are many similarities between Paul Atreides and another very beloved character. Huge spoilers ahead if you didn't read Dune, 

Follow at your own risk.

----- Dune spoilers -----

Robb Stark from Game of Thrones

Both characters:

- 15 years old

- Dark curly hair

- Very good at fighting, especially with sword/knife

- Elder son of a very important family/house

- Father is betrayed and dies, so he has to go to war

- Mother comes along

- Very good at military strategy

- He is supposed to marry politically but falls in love with another girl

- Son dies because of the war (Robb's still to be born)

- He has a very witty little sister that everyone is afraid of

One more trail, 10km, Valongo, Porto. It has been cold and raining heavily in Portugal. A lot of mud and slippery terrain, but overall it was a lot of fun. I saw a little rat passing in front of me. I went with my younger brother who wanted to start up on trail running.

Another one in two weeks!

I'm feeling blue! S. Silvestre (Famalicão), a traditional Christmas race in Portugal. Wee walk organized by my gym, but a great fun with all the Christmas lights in town. Next year I want to be in the 10k race.

2018 goals I have been thinking about my goals for 2018 in health and exercise. They can't be too crazy or I'll give up the first week. - run 1000 kms (it's about 83 kms per month and I've made 60/month this year. I have to do in the summer what I can't get in the winter) - 1 trail run per month, since I fell in love with it (the last one in the picture with a crazy friend a made that day) - no white sugar until November (this will be especially difficult because of my summer vacation plans) - better control my food and do what my nutritionist orders, to lose the last stubborn weight - post more here. You guys are a great help and inspiration.

I am a teacher, and my students gave me 3 boxes of chocolate this Christmas. yeah 😋 But from January to November 2017 I didn't eat any white sugar and this year here I go again.

Guys….. I did it! 1000 miles in 2017!

It’s been a great year and in looking forward to making next year even better!

[silviacouto]

Fantastic! I'll try to make my 1000 in 2018, but in kms, which is almost half of it 😅

Tumblr keep asking me if I want to follow my own blog 🤔

One more trail race! It was supposed to be 12k but turned out to be +14k. Very cold and many ups and downs but it was cool. Kinda sore now.

Some professional photos from my trail on Saturday.

Hi @fatmaninalittlesuit! Hello everybody! Having a real coffee before my morning run, still sore from my trail two days ago.

[silviacouto]

Today I ran a trail for the first time ever. I've been to many hikes in our wonderful Gerês, but this is something else. It was also the first time I had a dorsal number (you call it a bib? Bib here it´s a  baby napkin, I don´t know). I'll start collecting. And I want finisher medals, too!

It was only 8k, but with big climbs. My cousin and training partner back there says hi.

It was also scary because we've been in the forest for a long time, and we've had horrible fires in Portugal with many dead this summer. Yes, there are still summer temperatures and it hardly rains. 

So close to home, I had no idea there were trails like these.

This was in the middle of the trail, I don´t think it's a fake halloween decoration.

I'm missing out tumblr, I know. I've been training in the gym, running, and now I even do trails. I just don´t feel like posting so much lately.
