Amsterdam Morning Run

8 miles. With weird sleep patterns this trip, stayed up most of night and felt OK to do a morning run. 37F. Able to navigate the canals much better this time. Mist on water. No Kenyan Way even though flight arrived 5:30pm in time for end of the session at memorial park.

Amsterdam

7.5 miles. Long slow Sunday run. Running in the rain around the canals and looking for the parks. Really relying on Garmin to find way back using "Return to start" option and used the compass to navigate South and a few street maps helped. Kinda slow with jet lag. Legs sore and ended up walking quite a few times.

Last Flight to London Gatwick

Travel Day. On last flight to London Gatwick airport as Continental Airlines move operation fully to London Heathrow. End of an era for me as Gatwick has been main transatlantic option since November 1996. Took all day to prepare for trip and 4pm departure - no time for a run despite great cool and sunny weather.
