Easter rebirth (a.k.a. recovery) #running today.
So windy! But at least the sun came out.

The work continues, both my #running and the defense against the sea.
Will either succeed?
Not in the long run. 🤣

Break free #tempo #running.
Pretty happy to keep that pace for 3K, except for freak traffic stops, that is.
That's a big improvement over a few months ago, only holding it for 1K.

Why the #adventure...? #running?
In the hopes that one day I'll kiss that mailbox and get drenched by #hk4tuc organizer, Mr. Blumberg.

What have you got planned for the weekend?
Me? I'm heading for this pilgrimage site - metaphorically speaking.
It's a long training road ahead for 2027!

Always a treat to say hi to Andre, famous runner and event organizer. 🎉
Onwards to 2027!

The race is #running for third place - only about 6 mins separate these two!
Although, that's not really the spirit of #hk4tuc.
It's a personal challenge - and boy is it!
298kms across three days. No sleep. Just go, go, go.
