This week I'm in Germany for some training at SAP headquarters, and I'm lucky to have another runner in our group. Today we went running right after the class, around 7:30PM. It was already dark, and there isn't really anywhere to run around here, because our hotel is right in the middle of a few highways and asparagus fields! It's really quite bizzarre - there are fields as far as the eye can see, across the highway is SAP, and the hotel is sitting in the middle of the fields. Quite a contrast after London! So we just started running on those narrow service roads in between the fields, in complete darkness with no lighting whatsoever. Unfortunately, there wasn't much room to go, so we did a loop with some add-ons to make it at least half an hour. My partner didn't want to go any longer, but we were moving at a good clip, I would estimate at least 8:30 pace. Garmin was sleeping again for less than a mile, so no accurate measurements. I'm just glad I got out and did at least some miles, as unappealing as they were. I'm calling it 3.5 miles.
Total time: 31:56. |
