A small, barren tree, painted pink.

A withered, ball-shaped flower, perhaps? 😄

Mieke and I went to Watten (FR) together this morning. We each did our activities, together apart. I went for a run and Mieke for a hike.

A nice route with a beautiful mix of forest and fields and meadows.

I navigated using a printed map with my course on it. I had to make some adjustments 3 times due to closed gates and "private property" signs.

Today a long slow endurance run was on the program. I decided to make it a trail run.

From Bellano over the ‘sentiero del viandante’ to Varenna, up to the castle of Vezio and back.

Pump some altitude meters into the legs with power hiking on the very steep parts. 😁 I have a very satisfying feeling about this run.

10km @ 8’00/km, 443m EG ✔️

Eigentlich dachte ich mir Mitte Oktober nur "ich sollte mal ein bisschen laufen gehen", weil mir durch mehr Homeoffice der Sport durch die Fahrten mit dem Rad zur Arbeit weggefallen ist. Und irgendwie ist jetzt plötzlich ein Halbmarathon in greifbare Nähe gerückt 🤷🏻

Well, that didn’t go to plan. 50 miles completed before DNF, mostly hilly and in the dark with a good amount of mud. Great course, really excellent race organisation by Centurion Running, and good company. But, I just wasn’t strong enough. I was falling asleep on my feet and staggering all over the place by half way, and struggling to eat, so it was time to retire. Good luck to everybody still on the Winter Downs 100 course…you’re tougher than me. #ultramarathon #trailrunning

🏃🏻‍♂️My (adjusted) running goal is to end the year at ~4800 kilometers.

I’m currently at ~4570. So I do have to work for it. But I feel it is doable given my current weekly volume.

If I achieve this, then it will equate to:
- 400 kilometers per month
- 90+ kilometer per week

Those numbers are difficult for me to comprehend tbh 😂. I cannot believe I have run so much this year 😆. I mean … even now, reaching 90K+ requires solid dedication 🙃🏃🏻‍♂️

Tomorrow, @pjaspers and I set out for a great adventure in eastern Belgium. We will run the *Venntrilogie* route, from the 3-country point (B-NL-D) in the north to Bütgenbach in the south, passing through al the beautiful nature the _Hoge Venen_ have to offer.

Start around 05:00, finish when we get there.

Did 10k today in Shamma sandals in 6-5°C. All fine after the feet got warm after a few k - except for my left big toe, which got numb and complained quite hurtfully in the warm shower afterwards. So I guess I'll get him some cover next run. Anyway: Is that a problem with the (vegetative) nervs? It's always that toe, btw. And can I do something about that? I quite enjoy splashing through the November mud ...

Yesterday was the day I finally did my first #UltraMarathon

The run itself was just as much fun as the truly magnificent landscape around Moab, #Utah. At over 7 hours, I was slower than I had hoped, but I was able to enjoy the landscape to the fullest. If someone had told me 5ys ago, when I started #running, that I would be running an ultra #marathon at the age of 52, I wouldn't have believed it. Definitely a good feeling 😀

Laut #Garmin Uhr bin ich heute gemütlich an der Nordsee lang gelaufen (0 Hm) 😅 Vom kalten Wind her könnte es stimmen, aber war dann doch etwas hügeliger!
Pace wurde ruiniert von dem alten Kolonnenweg im Wald, den ich gehen musste, weil teilweise komplett unterspült! Wegen des Funklochs dort war ich extrem vorsichtig, kein guter Ort um sich die Gräten zu brechen 🤨
Bodenverhältnisse waren ansonsten ok, was sich bei der kommenden Regenfront bald ändern dürfte 😧

In the hospital it took three people to push and pull my arm in the right place again 😵‍💫. Now my arm is covered in plaster from shoulder to hand (a perfect 90° angle). So, as we say here: 'I'm out of the running', literally and figuratively speaking. No running for a while.

Nice trail running weather, 6°C, nearly no wind, grey sky, no rain and nearly no people. Still in shorts and t-shirt, just one extra base layer shirt underneath. Running across the border (no border control in nature). Did the sandpit twice (for the EG). Only fell once (on a stony dirt road, tripped over stone). Bloody knee and bruised ego.

This was my last, quite relaxed 18km/700m EG run yesterday at home in #Tyrol, about 1 week before the #DeadHorseUltra in #Moab/#Utah takes place, my first official #UltraMarathon.

Before that, I'm off to #KubeCon in #SaltLakeCity until Friday, which I'm also really looking forward to 😁 Unfortunately, it will be a long journey, all in all more than 16 hours ...
