Arrived in Athens, Greece today. Got out for an urban run (with a little bit of trail through some of the city parks.) I ascended Lycabettus Hill to get the heart cranking. It was some steep stuff, but the view from up top was worth it! Some pics from my route:
Lycabettus Hill lurking in the background saying "Come get me Turco."
View from the first peak with the Agean Sea in the distance
Found some trails...
View from the second peak with the Acropolis over my right shoulder
Parliment Building. "Hey, Loosen up bro..."
Temple of Olympiun Zeus
Arch of Hadrian with the Acroplolis in the background

A harbor in the Agean Sea
Another self pic...
Standing on Aeopagus hill (next to the Acropolis) looking back at Lycabettus Hill
Back at the hotel. 15.6 miles later. View from my hotel room surveying my run...

Way to get it done. Got to get you a Strider shirt though.
Great pics! I've run through Athens too, and when I do all traffic stops and everyone stares. I want to ask, "What, you've never seen a girl run before????" :)
