[#]Running while it’s snowing is just the best. Tried out my first pair of #trailrunning shoes I got Friday (Saucony Xodus Ultra 3) ever on terrain which could probably best be described as “light trail”, including mud, snow and finally rain. They performed admirably. Even extended stretches of road can be run comfortably in those shoes. Plus, they kept my feet warm and dry, despite the cold and not being waterproof.

Well, I’ll be spending New Year’s Eve alone again, involuntarily, like so many times before. If you don’t like noise, alcohol and stupid waste, it’s the most trying time of the year. Whenever I make plans for spending it with someone else, they fall through, without fail.
I guess it’s all about priorities. When you’re nobody else’s priority, you have to be your own. I still feel lonely though.
Will try to get up early and greet the new year with a little bit of #running. Maybe that helps.

New Year’s Resolution: I will immediately block everyone who responds to anything with a variation of “this wouldn’t happen with Linux”. I’m starting right now.

Is there any #running shoe vendor whose customer service isn’t an utter disappointment? Got burned by #Altra today. They expect me to pay 10 EUR for a return because they can’t offer me a larger size. Exchanges would be free. The ones I ordered don’t fit, despite following their size chart.
This is a full 15% of the order value that I won’t get back. If they remain steadfast on this point, it’ll be the first and last time I consider any of their gear.

Have I become older and less precise or has iOS 18 introduced/worsened several touch inputs? I seem to increasingly trigger actions and buttons I don‘t want to by swiping on the screen.

Since I’m done with Strava for good, I’m going to permanently mute all posts containing the “Strava” keyword. Especially within the #running community, this will likely suppress a lot of posts, including this one and its potential interactions. 🤪 Just FYI.

The #Coros Pace Pro looks like it's exactly the watch I wish the Pace 3 would have been. I had to compromise with the Pace 3. The Pace Pro is the watch I really wanted. I have no budget for a new #running watch any time soon and there's really no reason to replace a perfectly working device. Still, I'm a bit bummed out.

It’s leaf blower season again.
At what point did western society go “let’s make even the most inefficient and insignificant tasks as loud, annoying and polluting as possible”? I’m wearing noise cancelling headphones with music on, all windows closed, and I can still hear it. A single fscking leaf blower.
Also, when did we decide “trees good” but “leaves bad”?

Getting doctor’s appointments is ridiculously involved, even with acute pain. The orthopaedist’s office sent me to a hospital ER. Like they don’t have more pressing matters to deal with. Still did it, to clear up whether something truly bad had happened. Leg is fine, pain-adapted training load is apparently uncritical, tomorrow I get pain killers to manage the limp. Will pause #running until Wednesday, then try a short careful workout assisted by drugs and see what happens when they wear off.

On the way back #running the 30k today I managed to pinch a nerve located at the right outer calf, just below the knee joint. At least that’s what it feels like. Muscles and tendons are fine, nothing hardened or cramped, it‘s just this one location. And it’s painful. Had to stop at 28.34 km and kind of limp and hobble back home. Now I’m a bit grumpy but already treated myself with cola and lime flavoured water ice at a gas station. Here’s to hoping it will calm down by Tuesday. #bloomscrolling

Today’s run was emotional. Human connection is such a wonderfully precious thing, to treat it with abandon, to handle it with carelessness, can be deeply hurtful. I am hurt. I need to heal. Got in touch with yet another part of me: the warrior. Strong, enduring, persevering, stubborn and passionate. He knows how to pace himself. I believe he can help me with many things, #running included. #bloomscrolling

[#]Heldenlauf is done! Official time is 1:42:52, which is a new personal best. It’s also my first HM race ever. Completely by surprise, I scored first place in my age group (M45)… 🤯
I felt like I could’ve continued #running on, around that same pace, so I take this as a good sign for the full marathon on October 6th.
Still pumped by this achievement without really pushing myself, since I’m in the middle of the marathon training plan.
