Running through the castle

I have wanted to run through the castle for a while but I wasn't sure if Watson would be allowed in or not so I hadn't tried. I know I could have tried but if I got to the castle and learned that I couldn't take him through then I would have to either go back the way I came (which I hate backtracking) or go down into Mala Strana and back up the really long, steep hill up to Letna. I just haven't been in the mood for the steep hill so I haven't chanced going into the castle. Well, yesterday Jason ran with Watson and then I got to run all by myself. I took the opportunity to run through the castle. It is just so cool to be able to run in through the front gates of the castle and out the side gate. Now I don't actually run inside the building but it is still neat to be able to run through two courtyards. I waved to the guards at the catle gates as I entered and as I left. I try to give them some amusement as they stoically stand there. Never in my life have I ever thought I would be running nevermind running through castles!
