usual shorter run. it was way too hot for running today.

usual short loop (not to and from the hotel). Decided I had to beat my previous pace and did.

same loop as last time but starting and ending at my hotel this time because it was early and few people were on the roads.

started at the P. Za G. Poggi but ended at Porta Romana this time. I think it was a little faster than last time but hard to tell since the route was different.
I changed the route because last time the damn cobblestones beat up my knees so bad I couldn't run for three days. This time my knees feel much better, although we'll see how they are tomorrow. The run would be very pretty with a nice view of Firenze if not for the surface.

did some squats (without weight) and toe-raises in my hotel room because my knees were too hurt to run. I feel like I'm really getting out of shape.

roundtrip from Piazza Santa Maria Soprarno, along the river, then up viale Michelangelo, Galileo, then down San Leonardo. Florence is not a good city for running. It's far too crowded and the pavement kills my knees. This run is okay because it is up into the hills above the city. I have no idea of the actual distance or climb but this was my guess given my time. I am not in good shape and was running pretty slowly. At least I was passing the local italians though!

arrive in Firenze

leave for NYC
