Frozen ground, heavy rain for ten minutes *after* the first four kilometers (that‘s why I didn’t wear my EXOspikes), after that this run went a little downhill: Even the trails were glazed over by a two centimeter layer of ice. I had to slow down extremely and hold on to branches, posts and anything else offering support. But… I didn’t let myself be kept from the usual 25K distance, even if it took me at least 30 minutes longer than usually… #Running #applewatchultra2 #winter #ice #exospikes

Four runs into the new year, 101 kilometers clocked – it's effin’ cold out there, with 5-10 centimeters of snow and ice – but I had my trusted EXOspikes with me, so I didn’t slip even once. The only part of me that suffered a little were my lips, the frosty air is so dry. Have a great weekend, y’all! #Running #winter #applewatchultra2 #kahtoola #exospikes

Another snowy day, but I got a good nine and a half hours of sleep (and almost two more as a nap), so that couldn’t stop me. With my trusted EXOspikes on my Brooks shoes, it was a delightful experience to run through the woods in this beautiful weather. I misjudged the distance slightly – but I‘m happy with the outcome. #Running #applewatchultra2 #winter #exospikes #snow

Every day I‘m testing out slight variations of my route. That’s a lot of fun and experimenting, and yet I often think about my fixed running routine in 2022 and 2023. But I‘m firmly on my new course and will stay in this more diverse workout schedule. Have a great Sunday! #Running #exospikes #winter #applewatchultra2 #schwinn #rowing #applefitnessplus

It‘s chilly outside, -6 C right now. At least, there’s no wind, but I‘d really prefer a temperature at least ten degrees higher… Nevertheless, I started a new audiobook, which is quite entertaining, so I simply *had to* run a half-marathon just to keep listening. Now I’m about to get on my Schwinn for indoor cycling. Yay! #Running #winter #exospikes

Aaaaaaahhhh! I had not set an alarm and woke up after 4am, a little late for this full working day. So I quickly switched my sporting schedule and just ran a half-marathon. Not my usual daily practice of the special triathlon. But I was happy that way. After the shower I had exactly ten minutes left to shave, get dressed and get all my stuff ready for the day. Ugh, I *love* a relaxed start into the day… #Running #winter #exospikes

9 days ago I was #running in shorts and short-sleeves. Today I need to locate my #Winter shoe traction doohickeys. #Kahtoola #ExoSpikes Either that or embrace the #dreadmill #treadmill suck. #PureMichigan
