My last two runs....

I've been visiting with my in-laws and am running in new territory while here. We had the adventure trying to get here and the jet lagg got me behind a few days of running. So, that being said....

Friday I ran a nice gentle jog and did 2 miles. I went along a canal, past the lake, the little shopping center and around the other side of the lake. I saw some beautiful scenery including ducks, blue herons, a stork or two and some other birds I have no idea what they are. I also got some weird looks as the majority of people here don't seem to run. They ride bikes. Thankfully most of my runs are off trail so I am able to avoid them! Don't want to get run over.

Sunday I did a "long" jog and tried a new section. I ran down some walking paths, around the corner through the woods, past the wild cows standing on the sidewalks...yep, WILD COWS. LOL. I even had to go back and take pictures because this isn't something I come across running in the states.

Tomorrow my run takes me past a windmill, tulip stands, busstation, and a small village shopping center. I must say, running in the Netherlands is a whole different experience! I look forward to what this weeks runs will introduce me to...

How fun for you!  Sounds like you are having such a peaceful and great time!

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

very cool, great job keeping up with your running while you are out of town, it always seems to be tough to schedule stuff in when you are away.
Where are we going??  And why am I in this handbasket??

right now.  somewhere.  somebody is working harder than you.

I agree, It is horrible trying to stay on track when you are out of town. I missed today's run but am running tomorrow. Love the scenery over here!

Thanks! We are having a great time. Spending a lot of time walking around and doing the tourist thing. Thankfully Hubby plays a great tour director! LOL.

Very cool.

It's nice that you were able to enjoy your environment during your run.
I'm sure it makes the running experience more enjoyable.

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!

The runs have been great, even if a little slow with all the site seeing i've been doing on them. LOL.
