Berlin Marathon is a go in 2025. And a colleague of mine also had luck and will start 🚀

The tradition of the yearly Lego Christmas village begins.

This year we start with the Chinese New Years Temple 😅

My wife made Baklava. I read that you can store it or up to two weeks. I really doubt that this will be necessary 🤤

Ich lese ein IT-Sicherheitsbuch einer Professorin, dass sich wie eine Abschlussarbeit eines Studenten liest…

Und bei den Beispielen denke ich jedes Mal: das was der Nutzer da macht, ist nicht ok - aber wo hat denn die IT so verkackt, dass das überhaupt geht und warum ist das nicht der Schwerpunkt🤦

Improvement over a year:

Half-Marathon in December last year: ca 2h30 (first time ever that I ran the distance) at an average pace of 7'10"/km

Half-Marathon today: 1h55 (training run, but PB) with an average pace of 5'28"/km #running

So #garmin replaced my watch and I got new one. It has an old firmware and I can’t install my preferred watch face or the hydration tracker because of it.

But the one thing you read in the forum is that if you want a working watch, you don’t use a firmware which is 17.26 or newer…

I am old. I have now my own blood pressure meter…

I’m testing a new app for #running plans to see if it is better than #trait / #twaiv

It is called #Runna. The workouts a distance- and not time based. I can make plans for arbitrary distances and it has plans for strength-training and guided cooldown-stretches. It costs more but it is more complete.

Meine Lieblingsfahrradfahrer sind ja die, die im Dunkeln mit dunkler Kleidung ohne Licht auf dem Fahrradweg in die falsche Richtung fahren.

Hell Yeah! I finally did it! 10k in Sub 50 - 49:27! 🥳🥳🥳 #running #great10k

I just registered for the Berlin marathon next year. 200 Euro starting fee, and 40 Euro for the finisher shirt. That’s a lot of money. Let’s see if I win in the raffle to get a starting number. #running

„Politikum ist der Podcast für alle, die Lust auf echte Diskussionen haben, auf Argumente statt Lagerdenken.“

Und dann gibt es nur eine Meinung. Gerade eine Folge zu Terrorismusbekämpfubg begonnen und der Experte meinte, dass man Vorratsdatenspeicherung braucht. Und dann keine echte Gegenmeinung…

A colleague is trying to convince me to just skip doing a marathon on my way to longer distances and jump directly to an #ultra with 1000m up and 1000m down in those 53km.

My actual plan was to do quite a flat marathon first and then add altitude and then more distance… #running

I feel like my inner self is slowly descending into chaos and I need something to structure my notes and things I have to do, and in my work keep an overview of what my team is doing (being the team lead). In the past I used #gtd for personal #productivity. Anything better nowadays out there?

Ich präsentiere “Das Updatier”

(ChatGPT hat’s erstellt).

Jetzt will ich Aufkleber. #sysadmin

Without being able to sync the new #Reeder with #Newsblur it is unfortunately not useful for me. Let’s hope “Classic” Reeder works for many years to come.

Oops, did a half-marathon in under 2 hours 🥳 #running #pb

Awesome! A Linkin Park-concert with the new singer - old songs, new voice. She is great.

Unfortunately the race didn’t went that well and I couldn’t reach my own goal of running 10km in less than 50 minutes. It wasn’t even enough for a new PR in 10k, at least a new PR for 5k.

I am not sure what went wrong. I didn’t sleep well, maybe that was enough to keep my willpower back 😔 #running

Last training before the first 10k in the next 6 weeks tomorrow. I hope it paid off.

In the last two months I ran more than 360kms and all the tools (#Garmin, #Trait and #Runalyze) predict a race pace that is faster than 4:40/km. Staying at 4:50/km for 10km would already be pretty awesome. #running

The Borderlands-movie was fun.

FU #uthoff and FU #ms

In spite of the heat (27 degree C) I could run quite a good pace (5:22/km for 8.4km) and I don’t get any side effects. That was different a couple of months ago. The training really helps! #running

I got myself a #Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar to replace my Apple Watch because I tested one and it was so much better for running.

Now the sensor hub is crashing regularly which leads to different problems. Reading the forums it feels to be a problemm that is not that rare.

🎉 Yes! First time 5k in under 25 minutes and a PR in 10km with 51:34. So the 10k in under 50 minutes is close. And this was a progressive run. So it should be totally doable in a couple of weeks. Even though there will be a training break of 10 days. 🎉 #running

New record: I ran 183.31 km this month.

Also this month:

• new PR in a half-marathon
• new PR in 5km

And those were just training runs.

Next month it won’t be that much. Let’s see what the rest of the years brings.

4 races still to go :) #running
