Another amazing run in Paris.  Spent the morning in the Notre Dame and the Germaine Quarter visiting bakeries and then did our run.  My sister has been running with me these three days and has been kicking butt!  We started at the apartment at Rue Temple and ran across Paris East to West around the Opera and through the Arc again (nearly killing ourselves on the huge traffic roundabout) out to the main Paris park on the West edge of the city.  This park just takes your breath away, one of those absolute perfect parks full of lakes and amazing trees.  We ran through the park around lake Inferieur and back through the city.  It got a bit interesting in the city since everybody was out now for the holiday tomorrow.  great run and amazing to be a runner and be able to cover so much of a city in so little time!

Nice! I love that you're able to take advantage of running in different cities. Thanks for continually sharing as it gives those of us who don't travel much a chance to experience those cities through your eyes.
