P3--running in the Alps

I am a runner. my rule of running is wherever I being, if I could get chance to run, I would grab it with no doubt!

last month I took a Europe trip with my family. before starting off, I made a little wish, running in the Europe, to experience the fresh air of there.

but fulfilling of this little wish is not a easy task. I need plan where, when and how to run.

first of all I need to decide where to run. after comparison of four countries we traveling, I choose Switzerland, because from my view,  this country is the most beautiful place of Europe. it has more than 32% forest coverage of land.

next step is decide when to run. it's a morning of the second day after we arrived in Merligen of Switzerland. I made a tough decision. that is getting up one hour earlier to run.

It's a small town at the root of Alps mountains. at the beginning of running, I feel a little chilly. but when I got the greetings from people in the street, "guten morgen", I feel some warm. not only the people but also a lovely puppy, they are all friendly to me.

when I reached the outside of town, there are several farm houses scattering at the two sides of road. raising up head, the peak of Alps is just over there, with some waterfalls hanging on the mountain, and reflecting the sunshine. it's so spectacular!

among running, which I smelled is from new cut grass, dandelion and daisy. another smell is from cows, but it is not annoying. all of them are so natural.

I just kept running in the wonderful land, enjoying the peace of countryside. the time is forgotten by me, until the sport watch reminded me that the target length of ten kilometers is completed. wow! my little wish of running in the Alps is done. I made it!

our life not only has routine activities, but also needs trips to distant places. wherever we being, we should stick to the rules made by ourselves. run for it! we can!
