Short run and some news
Well, we did four hilly miles today, in the rain. Not a bad rain, it was annoying before I got changed but refreshing as we ran; Alex joined Bryan and I today and we got some good conversation in as we stretched out our legs. Again, the course is hilly but the pace is relaxing, so its a nice way to relax at the end of a long day.
This will be the last time that I get to do this course for three weeks. No, I didn’t hurt anything, but I’m going to be doing some traveling: early Sunday morning I fly out of Austin on my way to Dresden for two weeks.
Anyone out there in Dresden? Wanna run?
This is the first time I’ve ever been to Germany, and I’m really looking forward to the experience. It should be a blast. Hard work, of course, but I’m sure I’ll manage to squeeze in a few miles - and a few beers - along the way. If that wasn’t enough, I’m flying from Dresden back home to England to visit family, some of whom I haven’t even seen in over twenty years. Even better, we wrangled it so that my wife can join me out there.
So. That’s what I’ll be up to over the next three weeks. I hope to be able to share some really interesting runs, maybe even get some pictures out… but we’ll see.

Too cool Richard! You should leave a comment in Oliver’s blog. He was going to shut it down but I wonder if you could connect with him at least to see if he lives anywhere near Dresdin?
I may have his email address around here too. I’ll look.
Oh, Oliver from Yet Another Running Blog - YARB for short.

Hey Richard I would love to run with ya, but I live on the wrong side of Germany (Karlsruhe). I was in Dresden 6 or 7 years ago with my wife. She was a distant cousin that invited for a weekend. Lot of running opportunities, beautiful area. Enjoy your stay.
