October 30, 2022,AOKplus 10km Lauf @Dresden Marathon 2022

Due to a forced break of one and a half months from mid-September, I swapped the planned half marathon for the 10m and started it very leisurely because I didn't know how fit I would be again. The time is therefore also secondary, for me the most important thing is that I pulled through.

Today, despite the cold, rainy weather, we had another nice, leisurely ride along the Elbe with the Dresden run-in option. The route led directly past the broken Carola Bridge, which we saw from the front, back, left and right. The increasing flood waters were also very noticeable!

But just in time for the starting gun, the sun started to shine. A short march from the starting lane on Pieschener Allee to the …

But otherwise the receding flood waters allow running on the Elbe again. Then …
