Sightjogging Prague review

A Google search of "running tours Prague" brings up at least five companies operating in the city. I have always thought about taking one of these tours, but never pulled the trigger since I knew I would be here long enough to do my own exploring. However, part of the book is going to be recommending guided tours on bike and foot, so I decided to give the newest kid on the block, Sightjogging Prague, a try.

Thursday was beautiful in Prague. Twenty degrees C (70f) with the sun shining. The only problem being that it was a Thursday and the Mrs. was at the office. Knowing she wasn't going to play hooky I called up my buddy Dave to see if he wanted to go for a ride to help me scout out a bike route for the book. He does play hooky, and is an active biker, so off we went to Průhonice.

Prague 1/2 Marathon race report

Kuba is a really enjoyable 10 year old boy. The only sound he made all day was laughing, which happened twice. The first time was when I was dancing around in front of his stroller trying to stay warm before the start, and the second when we went from a paved street to the rough cobblestones which rattled the stroller.

When Smetana's Vltava came over the loud speakers to start the race, Kuba's eyes lit up. His mother told me he loves music and is a good singer.

Our group pushed Kuba for 5k, which was the most he could do on such a cold day. Some of the kids went the entire distance, bundled up in sleeping bags and hats and mittens, eyes watering from the chilly air, some with big grins, others with the occasional sly smile.

It was an amazing day.
