Running in Sunny Frankfurt



The view

The sun is shining here somewhere outside Frankfurt and its glorious!!  It has been complete torture to be stuck in doors for the last two days, although I have ate lunch outside on the terrace which beats a crappy sandwich at my desk any day.  To make matters worse the training room I'm in faces onto a lovely park and I've been staring out the window longingly at it all day.

I'm not a runner by any stretch of the imagination but for some reason today I just couldn't get the thought out of my head.....  "Yes, I'm going to run around that park this evening"

I announced it to my fellow course attendees over lunch, hoping someone would want to join me to make sure I did it.  No joy.  I'm here with a lovely bunch all from around Europe, quite an eclectic mix and all good fun.  So when class wrapped up they gave me a cheer.... "go on then, go for it".

Right..... and so I did!!!  It was sore, but perfectly pleasant.  The "park".... it turns out is blooming huge with a big lake right in the middle. 

Lovely park

The lake!!!

The pond

It was way further than what I expected but I ended up staying out for an hour doing a half run/walk thing all the way around whilst listening to the new Britney album Femme Fetal .  Once I had gone full circle I decided to go again, and take some pretty pictures along the way. 

Then this church caught my eye in the distance.

And after my second lap I decided to go and investigate and walked a little into town.  I've been slightly obsessed with church's since I was lucky enough to get a private tour of St James's in Louth. 

And also stumbled upon these lovely buildings....

I haven't been outdoors running since September when I was practically dragged kicking and screaming all the way up Arthur Seat.  Today really was lovely though and I will definitely be doing it again!!

Some more prettiness to enjoy.....

Love
