After watching fireworks over the Colosseum to ring in the new year, got only a few hours sleep but decided at least a short run was in order. Had scoped out a nearby 200m long plot of grass yesterday, and planned to run around there today. However, when I got there, the gate was locked. Spotted a small patch of grass around a fountain across the street, and though it was less than 50m in circumference, ran around there for about 13 minutes, at what felt like a pretty decent clip. Better than nothing!

Another day of lots of walking. Louise didn't feel well and went back to the hotel after we toured the Colosseum. Rachel and I then spent an hour and a half trying to find out how to enter the Forum or the Vittoriano, only to conclude eventually that they were both closed for New Years Day. At least entry to the Colosseum was free for the holiday.
