Could staying home be the solution? Absolutely!

I had a blast taking photos again today. Because it was so beautiful! 😍
Otherwise, on the way back from Pico Osorio in the Barranco de Azuaje, there was heavy rain, making the paths/downhills very slippery. In some sections, it was only possible to proceed at a snail's pace using the rope that's been

On Sunday: I increased my weekly mileage in the beautiful weather and continued to get my feet used to the exercise.
After 1.5 km, I walked past the docked cruise ship TUI Cruises Mein Schiff 'Relax' in the harbor. It's immensely large, with 18 decks, and visible from far out in the city. I walked past

A tentative attempt to resume trail running after my injury four weeks ago at the Alb Trail. My foot still needs a lot of attention and care when running.
The outer loop went along the top of the Bandama volcanic crater, the inner loop down in the caldera. Yes, it's extinct ;)

Today, November 22nd: Four weeks ago, on October 25th, I ran the Alb Trail in Schwäbisch Gmünd.
A year ago, I ran the 50K distance here, in beautiful weather and on a course with a lot of asphalt. So this time, I opted for the trail-oriented 37K distance.
I started in cool, rainy weather, twisted my ankle

One more to go: the Schönbuchlauf (Schönbuch Run): usually a 25K, but for the 50th anniversary, there was also a 50K distance this year by running the 25K loop twice.
Only 10 minutes from home, so you can't miss it! It was beautiful, cold, beautiful cold in the Schönbuch, at least on the first loop – with the start at 7:45 a.m.!

The history of the Black Forest Marathon is interesting:
- the third oldest marathon in Germany
- the first in the world with a women's classification.
Details in the worthwhile Wikipedia entry: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzwald-Marathon
Today, in glorious weather, with Joachim 🇨🇭 at the start, as he has

Sunday, in the middle of the Black Forest, in Elzach: four hours at 7-8 degrees Celsius, which felt like four, rain, cold wind, muddy in places, perfect conditions for trail running! 🙂
Last year I had 0.5L of walnut oil + honey, this year only 0.4L of oil, even though I was faster this year ;) Inflation
