This spring, I bought an iPod nano and the Nike+ gadget so I could keep track of how far I run when I go running–especially while in Poland. I’m testing out the WordPress Nike+ plugin (displayed in the right sidebar) to show stats on my recent runs.

Wawel Castle along the Wisła River in Kraków, Poland

Today I ran five miles on a path that goes along the Wisła (Vistula) River. I ran west from where my mom lives (in the Podgórze neighborhood, which is where the old Jewish ghetto and Schindler’s factory were) past Wawel Castle. There was a lot of set up going on for the Wianki Festival (taking place tomorrow), so there were a lot of things to dodge. I’ll try going east next time as there’ll be a lot less traffic on the path from bikers, walkers, and runners.
