Well, I spent most of the day in a dark lab, "working" (read: blogging, checking email, answering a couple of work-related questions...basically, just like home, only in Germany). By the end of the day, I felt kind of better - and then my co-worker Erick said he wanted to go for a run.
I kind of did, and kind of didn't. My better judgment said go, though, so I put on my running clothes and shoes and headed out. We had seen a park with paths that go alongside a river on our way to the biergarten yesterday. I had an idea that it would be a nice place to run.
It totally was! I haven't spent a ton of time in Europe, so maybe all of Europe is like this, but I love that there's some monument on every street corner and beautiful old buildings. Erick and I ran into the park, and then every time we saw something interesting, we just ran towards it and checked it out. Since there weren't always signs, and we don't really read German anyway, we didn't always know what we were looking at. But that doesn't matter - we saw cool stuff, we got exercise, Erick ran longer than he has in a very long time and was happy, and I was just so excited to be outside in a tank top, in the sun, warm, and feeling more like me.
Tonight we went out to dinner, then a bar, then a club to dance. I didn't drink a drop - and I feel much, much better. Unfortunately, it's 2 a.m. and I'm not really tired, but I have to get up in four hours to go skiing!!!
