Based on popular demand report from runners paradise also known as Turia park. Was really full, and all runners a freakishly fast. Now my blisters have blisters. #running #runsky #garmin

Collecting not at home runs this week. Very few runners this early in the morning in Valencia, very dark outside, few dog walkers and I have seen the sea. #running #runsky #garmin

So much for “I am not doing midday runs anymore and rest days are important”. How dare life mess up my running schedule. Anyway, run was good and celebrating friends who still send me actual paper postcards. #running #runsky #garmin

The smiley thing is not representative, the run was actually fun. Tried something new and went during lunch break. Streets were amazingly quiet and empty, but it’s more suitable for 5-7K, 12K take too long #running #runsky #garmin

As uneventful run as possible, no urban fauna, no unfriendly people, no dog walkers. Is everyone hibernating already? #running #runsky #garmin

Somewhat weird coffee package, but the coffee itself was nice. Run was also good, it was incredibly sunny and hot, did not bring water with me, regretted after 1K, changed my route to pass a castle, they have watering station for desperate runners #garmin #running #runsky

Mid range run with some splits in the end. And mountain pics based on popular demand aka me fishing for compliments. I am also amazed by human thermoregulation - we had runners in shorts and runners with gloves, sometimes at the same time #running #runsky #garmin

Had a long walk instead of long run today. Physically I am absolutely back to normal. Is there such a thing as mountain withdrawal syndrome? Because that’s how I feel and we apparently have an end of a season. Running will be my consolation prize

Post hike mini recovery run with no ambition. Again confirmed, that decent kills the muscles. Climbing up is fine. #running #runsky #garmin

Let’s call it a mountain Thursday. Summited Zugspitze after 2 days of hiking on a second attempt. The first one was last year and the weather has other plans. #hiking #zugspitze #alps #mountains

Inspiration is a bit rare these days, so I resorted to sketching paper bag. Someone left a perfect box of quality pastell near trash bins with a “free giveaway” post it. I am useless with pastell, but this box needed to be adopted #art #sketch #watercolors #blueskyart

I guess I just needed some nature. 18k are still not easy for me, but I was not miserable. On a subject of greeting the runners. 80% greets back, the ones who don’t are either having insane pace (understandable) or 30 something fit dudes in trendy gear (less so) #running #trailrun #runsky #garmin

Ever been to Walhalla? That is how this neoclassical monstrosity is called. Other than that we have view on Danube, angel wearing socks and pretty miserable run in Munich #running #runsky #garmin

Decided last minute I want to see my parents. Therefore this run was full of traditional German architecture and some ancient Roman stuff I might share later. Longest run since HM last autumn. #running #runsky #garmin

@laurasy.bsky.social - wobbly, but colourful! Still asking myself where my energy is gone and slightly dreading Sunday 18k run. #running #runsky #garmin

The only activity I was up to was competitive lying around, but someone put 12k on a training plan. It was not even particularly miserable, now back on the couch. Energy never happened #running #runsky #garmin

I did it. Been negotiating with myself since 6 am. 12 hours later I managed a decent 10k run. The power of procrastination. #running #runsky #garmin

Haven’t done treadmill in ages. It is still as boring as I remember, but effective and gets job done. Ah, and guess the city by one picture #running #runsky #garmin #treadmill

A trail run and a longish one at that. Feeling great. Tape is holding, knees are complaining. Met a very mysterious creature. #running #trailrunning #runsky #garmin

Does anyone also tape their knees? I have been doing it for years, but somehow during last two runs the tape decided to drift away mid run. And I guess everyone needs to see a happy cookie. #running #runsky #garmin

Slowish run and some urban romantic today. Was running out of time, literally. Had ice cream and coffee for breakfast and no shower, again. Partial eclipse yesterday was fun, people everywhere. #running #runsky #garmin

Can we please take this moment to appreciate my inhumane effort - 5:35 AM run. Having a bit of a crazy busy month, probably more of those to come #running #runsky #garmin

Office day yesterday, had to wear something decent and talk to actual ppl and not over Teams. Today’s run was good, it still takes me too much time between waking up and leaving the flat. But unlike Tuesday at least I managed to shower before work #running #runsky #garmin

Brutalist architecture this time. It’s a residential complex called Orpheus and Eurydice. And I was betrayed by my trail running shoes, again, they cause blisters by design. Vaseline did not help, will get back to tape #running #runsky #garmin

Could not decide between more brutalist buildings and Moomins exhibition pics. The latter won. Ah, and I went for a run. #running #runsky #garmin #moomins

Today is the day of testing Vaseline for its anti friction purposes (worked just fine) and some brutalist architecture. Munich has quite a few of those and I am a bit obsessed. Build in 1972 and originally this sculpture was white #running #runsky #garmin #architecture

Played tour guide for my parents for the weekend. We went for a moderate hike with pretty views on Saturday and “urban hike” in Munich today. So now I have even more alpine pics to post and mountain withdrawal to enjoy #alps #hike #berchtesgaden

The black and white theme is totally intentional, as I wanted to share pics from Fotografiska. Run was very peaceful, tried new route, seen a lot of playful dogs. #running #runsky #garmin

Lazy 7k morning run and some Berlin pics. Is it ridiculous to have a proper coffee maker at home with beans and all and still crave instant coffee? #running #runsky #garmin

Brought electrolyte infused water on the run. I guess I like it. Was fun run altogether, new city, new route, bit of a trail. All other joggers had hydration flasks with them. Will post more Berlin pics later #running #runsky #garmin #trailrun #berlin

Still in a weird state of mind, so running seemed like a good choice. Compared results of the 10k run from last Sunday with the same one from a year ago - 2 minutes less. Apparently I am doing something right. #running #runsky #garmin

Recovery run in a rain. Very refreshing and relaxing. Muscles are mostly recovered after hike and run on weekend, but I miss the mountains and can’t really get into work mindspace #running #runsky #garmin #munich

10k race done. Officially the distance was 10k and with 57:33 it would be PR. However, they missed 300m. And it was crowded. I don’t want to gatekeep running, but after I received 5. elbow in my face I got frustrate and would rather share hiking pics. #running #runsky #garmin #10K
