Oh my God, my heart was jumping today 🥰 maybe because of the effort 😅 but mainly because today was heaven on earth ❤️ when I first heard about this run last year, I knew I had to do it 🤗

The heart is beating in a triangle again, it's so beautiful 🥰 and the name "Dein Heimatlauf" might not be fitting for me, but it at least feels a little bit like it 😊

For the start of the mountain running season, I deliberately chose this run 😊 it's not too long yet but still challenging and absolutely not easy …
