Ha! I found my current (and all-time) motto in a Chinese cookie… And, I must say, I‘m following this advice each and every morning! #Running #applewatchultra3

It‘s warm again! 10 degrees Celsius here, in the middle of December, gross! On the other hand, it was a relief to have one less layer of clothing (I ditched the long-sleeve shirt, and that was the right thing to do. During the run there was just a light drizzle, the higher up the hills I ran, the denser the fog got. But it was a good run, I started into a new audiobook, yay! Have a great start into the new week, y‘all! #Running #applewatchultra3 #10000in2025

Cool morning, lots of wind – but blissfully dry. So I chose this morning for a slightly longer run to get ahead of my schedule. 740 km to go until the end of 2025. have a great weekend, y‘all! #Running #applewatchultra3 #goals #10000in2025

Still going well, but I feel the 31+K each morning in my bones. Time to sleep some more! One week of 31K runs helped, since I now have to run *only* 29.7x per day until year‘s end. Progress! #Running #goals #10000in2025 #applewatchultra3

I‘m sticking to my schedule, gaining kilometers every morning – and always a tiny bit more than needed, because you never know what‘s going to happen. Heavy snowfall could impair my #Running considerably, so I tend to be ahead of my plan… This morning run was a cool (2 degrees Celsius) one, but everything was dry, no snow or ice, not even up on the hills, so I was able to get a good pace (considering the fact this is my fourth or fifth 30+K run in a row). #applewatchultra3 #10000in2025 #goals

I‘m altering my route on a daily basis now, at least in small parts. That keeps me entertained and yearning for more. Also, I have to tick off somewhere around 30K every day until the end of the year to reach my 10,000 kilometers goal. There‘ll be days I simply cannot get there, so I must get in some longer runs whenever possible. That‘s what I did today. It’s just a 31K run, but it will offset one 29K run. Better than nothing. #Running #applewatchultra3 #10000in2025 #goals

Thick mist today, I couldn’t see anything beyond the next 5 to 10 meters. Thus the slower pace. But it was a very quiet and peaceful run with the mist drowning out all background noise. Accompanied by THE MARTIAN, I ran the required distance (required for reaching my lofty goal). What a good start into the day! #Running #applewatchultra3 #audiobooks #AndyWeir

9009 kilometers as of today. This morning run was a cool one, but I finished off another audiobook by #PierreMartin and restarted THE MARTIAN by #AndyWeir – it’s so good, I could listen to it all the time. There‘s 33 days left in this year, I‘ll split 991 kilometers over them, so there’ll be some long runs to take on. But I don’t mind the effort, the goal is just too tempting! #Running #applewatchultra3 #audiobooks #goals #10000in2025

Haha! Tomorrow will be the day for crossing the 9,000 kilometers line in this year. I’m actually a little excited about this. And then I‘m in completely uncharted territory. I‘ll have to put in some effort to get to the 10,000 kilometers by the end of the year. The greatest thing about that is that I‘m really able to listen to quite a lot of great audiobooks on the way… #Running #applewatchultra3 #audiobooks

No ice today! So for most of my route, I could just run as I always do. Two or three very cold patches were also a little slippery, but I got through without slipping. Three more days to 9,000 kilometers - and then on to the unbelievable goal of 10,000 kilometers in this year of 2025. Yay! #Running #applewatchultra3 #winter #goals
