Not always easy to drag yourself out of bed on your one day off. Especially in winter, when it is cold, rainy, dreary and just plain blah outside. But, I did not let my “innere schweine Hund” (inside pig dog) win and so I got myself prepared and took off for what I had planned to be a 5k run through the town of Kleinmachnow where I live. It has been awhile since I have gone running alone and this morning I noticed how much I have come to rely on my running buddy. This was a tough morning, but in the end, the watch said 6k and I was a tired, but happy camper.

 

 

 

 

Here is the route I took today.

When I arrived back home, the world outside did not look so blah and dreary anymore and now we are preparing here in Germany to watch the Inauguration in Washington DC.
