Running in Prague

[Sax64]

Here I am in Prague on a city break to celebrate my birthday 🎂 🥳 a few days ago. Yes, I packed my running stuff, just in case. Having looked after poorly grandchildren last week, they kindly shared their germs with grandma, so over the weekend I was increasingly unwell myself, wondering if this break was a good idea at all. Anyway, we came, only for Mr Sax64 to be blighted now we're here! A couple of hours sightseeing and that was it, he cried off back to the hotel and to his bed. I really hope he's feeling better soon. Anyway, I decided to put on my run stuff and explore some more. Checking out the maps, I've a reasonable idea how to head off, and then I'm pounding the streets and it feels good. Didn't encounter any other runners, I didn't think I'd be the only one in such a big city. 4.5k done ✔️

Fantastic, there's something so special about running in a different country isn't there?

Lovely to be converting a city to running!🤣

Hope you other half is up and well in good time to enjoy Prague.

🍏What a fun way to sightsee in a big city. Great photo! So sorry you both haven’t been well & Hope Mr is feeling better today! 😊

Always a plus to run while away. Hope MrS is better soon and Happy Birthday

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10]

Holiday runs are the best! It certainly sounds like you made the most of it. Get well soon to MrS!

[Sax64 Graduate10]

He's been much better today, thanks. Been enjoying a good day's sightseeing and a late lunch. Mmmm....no running today

A big congratulations on your run! Happy birthday! Old Prague is a wonderful city!

Lucky you. Prague is beautiful.

I haven't run there, but would expect that the bridges would offer many options for different distances. The Park up by the Castle should offer some options too>

Enjoy

Walked up to the castle today, but running it! It's seriously uphill I don't think that will feature on my agenda. But yes, I used the bridges yesterday only to be sidetracked by one of the islands and an errand to Lidl of all places. 🏃‍♀️

Walking down from Prague Castle

Up beyond the castle is a Park. Has a mini Eiffel Tower (Petrin Tower). (Smaller, but still with plenty of steps). Also a Hall of Mirrors. Lots of paths. A Monks Brewery set into a Hill...

[Sax64 Graduate10]

That all sounds lovely, thanks for your recommendations. But with an early flight home tomorrow, we may not get there now.

Oh great stuff! Lucky you. New routes around a beautiful city will be fab. Have a great time 😀🏃‍♀️

I love a holiday run but poor you and your husband not a great start , I hope he doesn’t stay in sick bay long. Nobody warns you about the germs the grandchildren bring !

[Sax64 Graduate10]

Thanks, he's definitely on the tail end of the lurgy now, and yes the grandchildren are definitely very generous in sharing their bugs. But glad to report we did have a great time out in Prague, just that first day wasn't so good.
