Cupertino

Had a holiday party in Cupertino last Friday evening. It was late enough that my wife and I thought it best to find a place to stay overnight. We had no real schedule to attend to, so we got a room at The Cypress, which happens to be a Kimpton Inn. We have stayed at Kimptons before. This was a nice enough hotel, but I was thrilled to find a nicely laid out Jogging Map on the desk with all the other propaganda.
So Saturday morning, though it was raining, and I did not find another vict...um I mean volunteer to run with me, I went out using the map. It had a couple two mile loops and a four and 1/2 mile loop. I did the longer one and added a bit. Ran real well through a nice neighborhood...with the proverbial tree lined boulevard. It was very flat, but a good time. Finished a little too soon and needed some more exercise time so I went into the Fitness Room at the hotel. This too was nice but typical. I sent some time on the StairMonster...low impact and since it was right after I finished my run, it took no time to get a pretty good froth going.
Anyway, not to be pimpin the Kimptons, but they seem to be nice hotels with that cute little jogging map.
