Yesterday I returned home from a 1 week long business trip to Gent, Belgium and am hanging out resting after a 10 hour sleep, feeling a bit run down so I decided to skip my morning long run.
My colleague and I stayed in the Gent Centrum- an area with beautiful architecture, fantastic food, and excellent running, provided one is prepared to run in the dark in rain just above the freezing point. I typically layered up in tights, long pants, a wool shirt with a tech fabric layer over the top and a windbreaker. Hat and gloves as well.
I managed mostly two-a-day workouts. Run at 6am; get back from work, run again, then out to dinner.
The best running was south from the hotel in the Centrum along the Leie River toward the Watersportbaan- a 1.5 mile long rowing lake. It was fantastic:

| Night run along the Wayersportbaan...folks out rowing after dark. There were lots of runners. |

| Run north along the Leie |
