June 8, 2025,Sonntags-Laufrunde 🏃🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🥰
Our traditional Sunday run took us back to the Steinach Valley today. The rain took a break during this time, so we returned (almost) dry. After completing a strenuous 🥵 8km run yesterday, I was more than satisfied with my 12km run today (as someone over 70, you have to lower your expectations a bit 🙈🤣). Just FYI - the …

Today I "cracked" the 10-kilometer mark while jogging for the first time 🤣. I'm happy with the result 😍 and know that I can manage our Sunday run (as part of our running group) again. Time is not important to me (at least not for now). Now it's time to put my feet up and relax a bit 🤷🏼‍♂️🥰🤣.

After returning from South Tyrol (probably with a few extra pounds 🤣🤣🙈 ) yesterday evening, I really wanted to do something for my fitness again. The Steinach Valley with its colorful 🍁🍂🍄 "autumn dress" was perfect for that 🥰. The 10 km run was a treat for body and soul 👍😍.

Our traditional Sunday run took place again today in the Steinachtal - and it was a pleasant 20 degrees. After yesterday's heat battle, I was quite happy with today's result, even if the last kilometer was unfortunately not recorded - it was almost 11 km today. Happy Sunday to you all 🙋‍♂️

Today's run took me to the "second floor" of the Steinach Valley, past the pulpit and the Steinach rock. Then I went back in the valley (1st floor 🤣🤣 ) past the cutting mill at the blast furnace and through the Jahnallee. I also took the time to photograph a mushroom 🍄‍🟫 with a "cream topping" 🤔🤣 and blackberry blossoms …

Our Sunday run today was - due to the heavy thunderstorm and the cloudburst during the night - once again an obstacle course. My running colleague encouraged me to do a "mountain run" which I surprisingly coped with very well. Unfortunately Komoot stopped working at some point - it was 14.04 km and 467 m of elevation - I am …
