Morning runs

I’ve been running quite consistently for a few months now and this weekend, I’ve managed to tick a few boxes off my bucket list – attended my first Park Run in Berlin ✔️ and ran the first leg of the 66-Seen-Weg ✔️ (400km trail around Brandenburg).

I thought I’ll look back at some of my favorite moments from my runs I managed to capture in photos (before my phone died from the cold).

And today. I took a train from Berlin to Potsdam and ran along the Jungfernsee. It was cold. Very cold. But there’s something about running first thing in the morning, before breakfast and my first cup of coffee. Especially when it’s along the waters. Cold and I – we don’t get along so well but when I’m running, I like the way it cuts through my skin and wakes me up by shaking me from inside out. I like the silence, the sound of my footsteps, the colors of the sky, the mist, the smell of the grass. I like how running makes me feel afterwards, how I stop thinking about food or work or about anything for a little while.

Hopefully, this is just the beginning to many more beautiful mornings to come, my two healthy legs taking me to infinite number of wonderful places.

Happy New Year everyone!
