I hit 10,000 steps before 11am!! I am currently at 23,00!!! We did a lot of walking today!
For those of you who are runners I am sure you are aware of the nod, or smile or some type of acknowledgement to other runners that you pass as running....well the Austrians seem to be much more private about their running. I attempted to make eye contact with many runners that I saw this morning, and I saw a bunch, and most of them wouldn't even look at me. When I noticed the trend, I was bound and deteremined to get them to smile back at me....I made it my mission. I succeeded with 3!!! Yeah!!
I found some great places to run around Vienna and was so excited for the beautiful weather we had here today. This was the first day that it didn't rain, since we have been here! I thought I was keeping track of my route, until after I turned around to head back and got disoreinted. The good news is, that because I have been here before, I know a few landmarks to get me back and was able to find my way!
The rest of the day was spent, on a walking tour of the city, lunch at this great cafe, and then to a fine art museum. Vienna is one of the greatest places for art!! I had a delightful afternoon wandering the museum, listening to the audio commentary on some great pieces of art. There was a lot of religious art, so it was a nice meditation as we head into Holy Week.
Tomorrow morning we have the Vienna Boys Choir...it will be interesting to attend Palm Sunday Mass in German! I will pray for the gift of interpretation!

Rachael - Way to run for an HOUR - that is major. I'm sure you ran at least 5 miles, if not a bit more...
The best way to finish a long run is to have a good cold beer (after drinking enough water, of course!) - that's what JM and I have found. I see you have found the same - yes, lots of great carbs!
I ran my 5 miler early, on Friday, because we had company :) in town this weekend. It felt great, and I've actually found a track at a local university that has a lot going on around it (and even a few runners!). The air is much clearer, and people don't look at me as though I've lost my marbles when I run on it.
I'm loving this training log - keep it up!
