2023: W27R2 - educational

Today I tried to run more freely and this time I added a little education to the run:

The monument reminds that Prussian patrols clashed with retreating Austrian soldiers at this place during the war in 1866. At the same time, a monument was built here for the visit of Emperor Francis Joseph II. in the village of Milíře in 1668.

Happy running! :-)

That sounds a great idea.

I personally listen to podcasts when I run, and have found the ‘Infinite Monkey Cage’ ones particularly useful as they last about the right time, they make me laugh out loud at times and they educate me about all sorts of things I didn’t know I didn’t know!

‘In our Time’ is also good but less funny….

Mind you I have to listen to each one about 3 times for it all to sink into my aged brain. But at least I can fool myself that it is educational!

Yeah, I also have to listen to the podcasts more than once, because on the one hand, my thoughts run away, and on the other hand, when there are too many new characters in the audiobook, I have trouble remembering them. I'm currently listening to Isaac Asimov's Foundation and sometimes I have no idea what it's about... :-D

Not what you're looking for?
