Hello again running log! I have been training, but due to the poor wifi in the hotel and my annoyance at typing things on the iPhone, I did not log in Rome--but, o, how I trained. I rose at 6:35 Italy time, unjoined by MI and Zeke, but Anna rhymes instead, who seemed just as speedy as they are. In fact, she was pushing the pace during the first seven minutes. We took via dei serpenti where our hostel/convent is located to the Colosseum to the circus Maximus, where I did three laps, getting me to 25:31. I waited for a few minutes for Anna while chatting with Evan who had come out to take a walk and plan the day. I asked Anna if she thought we could get back in under 32:00, but she said she was tired and told me to go ahead. I did and soon found myself lost, going away from the hotel on the Via Labicana, a street dating to ancient roman times. Upon realizing my error, I found Anna again and then we blundered around for another 13 minutes, during which I stepped on a piece of glass that went through my running shoe. I asked a kind Italian stranger for his keys with which I was able to push out the glass I could not get with my fingers. After 35 minutes, the pace slowed a great deal because we were lost, but it remained a high quality run. 40 push-ups in a row and 100 crunches before bed.
