Enjoyed the long run today with a couple of people from the club today :) #running

A running app interface summarizes a half marathon long run with details like distance (21.1km), pace (5:27/km), time (1:55:24), heart rate (148bpm), elevation gain (38m), and cadence (168spm).

And I learned about AltGR WEur which is far better than us-alt int. for typing characters like umlauts on a US-keyboard. Now I also don’t have dead keys anymore which makes things better :)

One week in with the #glove80 and I am getting comfortable. Today I flashed the bilateral tailorkey-firmware and it helped to reduce my error rate. I am nearly back up to speed. There are still some characters which are weird. I.e. = because it is on the left side.

Today was the first day I did everything on the #Glove80 and I was slow. I trained yesterday and the day before but that wasn’t enough. I read 2 weeks-2 months. Well, I guess I just use it every day now as my daily driver to get faster up to speed again. I flashed today TailorKey, that seems great.

I started watching “The Wire” again. One of my favorite series of all time.

I got today a Kensington Slimblade Pro. I knew trackballs only in the form of those small ones from Logitech and wasn’t very happy. But I always read that they are better for ergonomics. So I got myself now something better. And this thing is worlds apart from all the other trackballs I tried. I❤️it

Thinking about races in 2026. I will probably do:

  • S25 in Berlin (25km race, either through the Grunewald or similar to Berlin Half)
  • Brocken-Marathon
  • Nikolauslauf Berlin (26.8km)

I am still thinking if there might be an interesting 10k I could fit in. #running
