Run Milano

Ms. FA and I are in Milan, and we got out for a run this morning at 7:30a. Our hotel is two blocks from the Duomo, so we ran around the giant cathedral and down Via Dante, a pedestrian thoroughfare of restaurants and shops. We turned right at Castello Sforzesco and took back streets past the opera house La Scala, turned onto an out-and-back to the Public Gardens, then back to the Duomo through the Galleria Vittorio Emanual.

It was an early Sunday morning, so aside from some old men walking dogs and a few restaurants setting up for breakfast, it was a quiet run, about 35 minutes. I haven't measured the distance yet. It was about 40 degrees, clear and bright. It put us in a great mood, made us hungry for breakfast and was a great way to see a little bit of the city. We spent the rest of the day on a day trip to Verona, and fly back to NYC tomorrow.

Peace, fellas.

Awesome! I'm so psyched that you got out over there, and that's cool, the quiet Sunday morning run in a new city.

Terrific!

A run in Milan. Awesome. Followed by a cappuccino, I hope.
