Cool Runnings

So...remember that blog awhile back about the Autobahn actually having speed limits?? That speeding ticket (154km/h in a 100 km/h zone) just landed Shaun with 4 points, a EUR 170 fine, and a suspended license! Imagine our surprise. Shaun now takes a 30 minute train to work and then runs 4 miles to his office. He wears a backpack while he runs that includes his work clothes and takes a shower once he gets to work. Keep in mind..he has to do the 4 mile run each way to and from work. The other day on his run to the train after work he realized that his little Jansport had come unzipped..and he'd lost a tie. Luckily, he found it on his jog in the next day..albeit covered in frost. Shaun is planning to run the Zurich marathon in a few weeks so this has helped him get his runs in during the day...although, he can't really stay up past 9pm anymore. Unfortunately it has been freezing cold here over the last week so these are tough times for Shaun. But for me - how exciting!! I now have a car and I've been zipping to and from work...secretly, I'm not giving the keys back! Or at least not until March 7th....
