Running In Interesting Places
New
York, New York. (4 miles) Central Park is a great place to run.
Mostly flat and you can go as far as you want. (April 2001)
Scottsdale,
Arizona (multiple runs). It was PC Forum 2001 at the Princess. Great
technology conference and a chance to run 3+ miles every day and
on one day to hike
to the top of Camelback Mountain.
(March 2001)
Olympia,
England. (4 miles). Holland Park in the Royal Borough of Kensington
and Chelsea is quite nice. It is a small park but full of interesting
sculptures. (February 2001)
Berlin,
Germany (3 miles). Tiergarden Park is one of the great parks of
the world and a great place to run. I ran with Mike Nelson of IBM.
He and I were in Berlin for a meeting of the Global Internet Project.(November
2000)
Cambridge,
Massachusetts (5 miles). Running along the Charles River is a special
pleasure. This time it was very cold though and I wished I had brought
gloves. The view is great and there are a large number of fellow
runners out there. (November 2000)
Lake
Pinnipesauki, New Hampshire (5 miles). This beautiful place is a
known as the Lake Region and is the vacation home of some close
friends. Weather was windy and chilly but blue sky and clear mountain
air. (October 2000)
Scottsdale,
Arizona (5 miles) is where the Agenda Conference is held every year.
It is very flat but can also be very very hot. I wish I had a much
larger water bottle with me on this hot Tuesday afternoon. (October,
2000)
Geneva,
Switzerland. During a visit to give a keynote speech at Post-Expo
2000 I had a spare hour so I ran from the Hotel Intercontinenal
down by the United Nations, through the Botanical Gardens, through
a tunnel under the freeway to Lake Geneva. It was a very windy day
and wind surfers were enjoying it. It was a most enjoyable 5.5 miles.
(October, 2000)
Sydney,
Australia at Olympics
2000. Running along the bays and quays by The Sydney
Opera House and the Royal Botannical Gardens was great. Forty miles
over eight of the 12 days we were there. (September, 2000)
West
Palm Beach, Florida (5 miles). 80 degrees and not a cloud in the
sky. What a way to start the new millenium! (January 1, 2000)
West
Palm Beach, Florida (5 miles). 80 degrees and not a cloud in the
sky. What a way to end the millenium! (December 31, 1999)
Ridgefield,
Connecticut (5 miles). It was a beautiful Christmas Day. Sunny and
cold. Just under 20 degrees Fahrenheit. (December 25, 1999)
Hong
Kong, China (5 miles). After a few days in Singapore and then in
Hong Kong I had a day off enroute to heading on to Taipei, Taiwan.
I took advantage of the short break to run five miles along Hong
Kong harbour. It is a beautiful city. (December, 1999)
Fort
Collins, Colorado (5 miles) is where my family and I had a very
nice reunion. We visited the Rocky Mountain National Park. Weather
was sunny and warm. (September, 1999)
Scottsdale,
Arizona (5 miles) is where the Agenda Conference is held every year.
It is very flat but can also be very very hot. I wish I had a much
larger water bottle with me on this hot Sunday afternoon. (October,
1998)
Marne
La Vallee (4 miles) is a place unto itself and is also part of Paris.
It is also home of Disneyland
Paris. Weather was cold, wet,
and dreary.
Portland,
Maine (5 miles) is one of the nicest places I have ever run. The
weather was perfect. Sunny but cool. The scenery was really neat
along the waterfront
Running
(4 miles) in Washington, D.C. (February 1998) was really fun. I
started out at 6:30 AM from the Watergate
Hotel where I was staying.
The hotel provided a nice map showing Running Routes along the Potomac
River. I ran past the Kennedy Center and then over the Memorial
Bridge and then by the Lincoln Memorial. Had a nice view of the
Washington Monument.
Running
(4 miles) in Sydney, Australia (April 1998) was a special treat.
The run through Hyde Park and into the Royal Botanical Gardens was
beautiful. Many varieties of flowers in bloom. I ran along the water
and then the Sydney
Opera House came into view.
It was spectacular. Then along the water I saw all kinds of boats
ranging from sightseeing to Navy vessels. Thanks to my GPS receiver
I found my way back to the hotel with no problems. It was one of
the nicest 4 mile runs I have ever taken although I have to admit
my energy level was down a bit. By that night I will have been up
for over 40 hours and was surely ready for a good nights sleep.
Running
(5 miles) in Central
Park in New York City is a
real treat. The weather couldn't have been better and there were people
everywhere. Hikers, bikers,
walkers, runners and horses. Fast people, slow people, intense people
and relaxed people. Old people, young people, and infants.
Running
(5 miles) along the Charles
River in Cambridge,
Massachusetts is a joy even
in the rain. Plenty of it was coming down on this recent visit to
the MIT
Media Lab but it can be very
refreshing to run in the rain.
Running
(3 miles) along the Atlantic Ocean in Bal Harbor, Florida. I was
there for an important meeting with a number of my colleagues. Also,
I saw some alligators
