December 30, 2023,Mitlaufgelegenheit DD: Entspannter 10er

Today we had a relaxed tenner with Jens, Harald and his French running buddy Yves at the DD running opportunity. As an exception, it went over Brühl's terrace because the water was still standing on the bank. On Johannstädter Flur the cycle path was also really muddy. But otherwise the receding flood waters allow running on the Elbe again. Then …

Today, in the most beautiful winter weather on the Elbe, the classic 10-person round at the Dresden run-along event with Jens, Bettina, Harald, Bernd, Jamil, Matthias, Kay and Matthias again! Jamil pulled me hard again so that it was pretty quick in the end. I actually wanted to hold back a bit because I'm doing more running km this weekend...

October 30, 2022,AOKplus 10km Lauf @Dresden Marathon 2022

Due to a forced break of one and a half months from mid-September, I swapped the planned half marathon for the 10m and started it very leisurely because I didn't know how fit I would be again. The time is therefore also secondary, for me the most important thing is that I pulled through.

Today, despite the cold, rainy weather, we had another nice, leisurely ride along the Elbe with the Dresden run-in option. The route led directly past the broken Carola Bridge, which we saw from the front, back, left and right. The increasing flood waters were also very noticeable!

October 15, 2025,🏃‍♂️ 10 km Sightseeing Run in Dresden – zwischen Barock und Pulsrhythmus

From Dr.-Külz-Ring, the morning run took us through the Old Town, past the Zwinger, the Semper Opera House, and across Brühl's Terrace – stopping in front of the majestic Frauenkirche. The sky was gray, but the city was golden – clear minds, steady strides, and Dresden awakening with a run.

October 22, 2023,Teilnahme 10,55km Lauf 👣beim 23.Dresden-Marathon-Event 🏅

23rd Dresden Marathon
A very nice quarter marathon route, through the city, along the Elbe to the Waldschlößchenbrücke and back along the Terrassenufer, was a lot of fun, even if my still slight cold made the run a little more difficult. At the start with @Niese and with @Marcus, between going through with so many like-minded people and the last …
