Spanish Steps here I come

Today was the day to run in Rome. I originally had planned to go the the Pantheon and back....BUT I had forgotten how dangerous the drivers are here. It's bad enough having to watch out for the uneven cobblestone streets...then having to watch for drivers too! 

I made it to the Spanish Steps went down them and then ran back up them...all 138 of them! Video will follow. I was back at the hotel and was trying to get another 1/4 mile in and that's when I wasn't looking down and slightly rolled my ankle on the uneven sidewalk. My running in Italy is over. I was lucky and didn't roll it too bad...but I am not willing to risk it again.

Plus Rome is difficult to get around and we have been walking A LOT! 

I'm glad I was able to run in all 3 cities we visited. Sorrento was definitely my favorite to run in with the views. 

I am wondering how my next run back home will be...with the light running schedule and the excessive food! Time will tell. 

Ciao!
