Hi my dear friends and/or watchers I am still visiting DA regularly, checking comments, notes and favs. It might take a few days for an answer... so please bear with me Last journal update was around 2.5 years ago.. ooooohhh boy! Shame on me... I achieved my goal of reaching more than 3300 km with hiking and running in 2024 My major"reward" was some problems with my left achilles tendon... yeah... wonderful I am fighting this pain now for more than 6 months, takes time, get's veeeeerrrry slowly better... Now I can run my 5k again but I have to be careful and there are weeks where I have to skip... Next major milestone is the yearly local company run with ~3200 participants... looks like my company will again have the biggest group of runners... I will try the 5.5k and last year it took me close to 31 minutes to reach the goal... Photography is still a major part in my life, I took a lot of photos beginning of July when the major local cultural festival in our city took

So far I could avoid a Covid infection *knocking on wood*, thanks to keeping the distance, wearing masks and having four immunization/booster shots in the last years. Hiking and photography took over most of my available spare time. Last year I could reach another goal of mine, hiking more than 2000 km in one year, puhhh.... but this also means I have to set a new goal for 2023... hmm 2200 km as goal and maybe reaching 2500 km...? ;) Photography wise it was again a wonderful year, we had a festival with lots of street artists in our town which was simply amazing and so much
