This morning, when I got up, I meant to do my 3 miles running in the opposite direction along the Rhine, but that didn't happen because I ate something that disagreed with me, then slept terribly. The thing that I ate that disagreed with me was Flammkucken, which you would think would be relatively innocuous, but there you have it.
So my 3-mile run had to wait until Munich, after some travel (and stomach recovery time). I noted that it was supposed to rain around 6pm and opted to miss out on the possibility of being drenched, Munich-style. Instead, I went a bit later and decided to run around one of the local parks.
Except that it wasn't a park so much because it appeared to be under construction. Why would a park be under construction? Because it's not so much that it is a park; it's more that it is the beer grounds where people have Oktoberfest. Since right now it is not Oktoberfest, it's somewhat empty, apart from a giant statue of Bavaria personified that can be seen from afar:

Tomorrow is a 4-mile run and my plan is to run in the English Garden, since that seems to be where everyone and his/her brother runs when in Munich. When I was here a few weeks ago, it was somewhat far to get there. However, now I can easily take the streetcar over and back. Then I only need to motivate myself to get up bright and early to do my Thursday run--I think that anyone who follows this blog must already be aware that 'bright and early' is not exactly my thing. I'll just keep reminding myself that it's 3 miles bright and early or 3 miles of sweaty and hot in Florida. Hopefully that motivation will work.
