Run

Return to Rovinj

July 28, 2023: Our final return to Rovinj provided happy reminiscing, with one cold shadow of a memory.

Lake Bled

July 24, 2023: Scenic Lake Bled sits at the base of Triglav National Park, a less-expensive but just-as-beautiful Lake Como in miniature that has drawn vacationers for centuries.

The Oldest Vine

July 23, 2023: The oldest vine still thrives where grapes were planted over four centuries ago in Maribor, Slovenia. But the wine is not for sale!

The Zagreb Rerun

July 23, 2023: We had time for a quick Zagreb Rerun this year. Though short, it was a nostalgic stop, like visiting an old friend.

July 20, 2023: The Budapest run took me through the city’s last millennium, from Magyars on horseback invading from the east to the middle ages to the Hungarian revolution against the Soviets in 1956. What a city, and what a run!

The Krakow Planty Run

July 15, 2023: I anticipated this for months: The Krakow Planty Run, through the park that rings Krakow’s old town. Thank heavens for “Planty” of shade!

Running Prague

July 12, 2023: I drifted to sleep last night with visions running Prague in the cool morning, before the arrival of the heat and tourist crowds. I’d have the Charles Bridge and its views of St. Vitus Cathedral all to myself. Bliss!

Running New Zealand

Running New Zealand: New Zealand made for some fabulous runs. From city sights, to beach bliss to hard hills, there was a little of everything. Read on for the highlights!

Running 2022

Running 2022 Highlights: Running 2022 was a good year, if not great. The good included incredibly beautiful runs through 31cities in 10 countries. But Brussels knocked me off my only running goal for the year.

The Broadway Runs

Aug 25, 2022: Broadway, England. I managed a few solitary Broadway runs, through steeples, stiles, sheep and rain. It was fantastic, despite the sop and stinging nettle.
