Winter wonderland on the heath. The snow depth was still okay for walking. Cross-country skiing was a few centimeters short, but that didn't stop some people from trying it anyway.

Frozen fog. Mystical atmosphere on the Sunday run.

High temperatures and dry forest soil are not optimal conditions for new "best times", but as a sports teacher once said: "If you train under difficult conditions, you can survive under better ones."
The whole stand today but rather under the motto "The main thing is exercise in the fresh air".

Running lap between breakfast and roast goose on the 2nd holiday at a mild 12° C through the rainy and somewhat muddy heath. Partially cursing the idea while running, but afterwards I feel better. Movement is good.

...despite the mostly shady paths, it was quite hot today. Summer is coming.

"Wintery" run

The underground was very special today. Mud in various states:
- soft slush
- frozen slush
- liquid mud
- semi-solid mud

There is no sign of last week's snow today. The ground was slightly frozen, very comfortable to walk on. If the sun still shines, it's a perfect Sunday.

On the seventh day of the new year we (finally) started the running year. Classic heather circuit with a slightly wintry attitude. Pleasant running on frozen, non-slip surfaces.
Note for allergy sufferers: The hazelnut is already blooming 😲.
