ENGLISCHER GARTEN 100

In the midst of the pandemic, and with people coming up with all kinds of challenges, I decided to run a 100 kilometer around Englischer Garter in Munich on Good Friday. It was a spontaneous undertaking, inspired by Elisha Nochomovitz running a marathon on his balcony and Jan Frodeno, who set out to complete a full Ironman at his home in Girona the following day. I had written about the importance of supporting your local before, and I kept thinking about what I can do to help my favorite businesses that are serving my daily cup of espresso. During my Thursday run, I came up with the idea of running 100K to raise funds for two my favorite locals - Morso in Munich and Cafe Kraft in Berlin.

In the end, we were able to raise a total of €805.00 as a collective, of which I am very proud and thankful for, indeed. It shows what one can achieve by using the power of a community.

MUNICH MARATHON 2015

A series of small issues here and there hindered me from the streets and mountains trails for most of the summer. The main problem playing up around the largest joint of the human body, connecting thigh and leg, the Articulatio genus, also known as the knee.

THE DIFFERENT MILE

Last Sunday, I run 20 miles for joy, whilst they trekked thousands of miles for survival. After I finished my run, I returned home. On the other hand, they never will, as they have lost their homes. With "they", I mean millions of people that have left their country and made their way to seek saver surroundings to live in with their families.
