A bit of daily life - books, running, mountains, some attempts of art and occasional IT rant
I really shall stop complaining about home office- I can go for a run before work, shower, have breakfast and still be on time! Downside- I don’t remember the last time I wore jeans.

Spent 20 minutes debating between staying sore in warm cozy bed or dragging myself outside for a run. It’s not motivation, more a desperation, knowing I will feel meh the whole day if I don’t go.

First proper run since HM. I pretended to do something useful and went to yoga couple of times, but it is not the same. The route was pretty awesome, former Olympia regatta course, all deserted and foggy.

Anyone hungry?

Let’s talk headlamps! I have this tiny, beautifully, but mostly useless piece of equipment. 200 lumen are only good to be seen by bikers, but I am still mostly blind. Any suggestions? Internet appears to be very confusing on this topic

Some before and after pics. Went to a yoga session yesterday evening hoping to prevent muscle soreness. I think my body is laughing at me right now.

Trail HM, and of cause it is raining- for the most authentic muddy trail experience. Shower is some 40 minutes train ride away! Happy, but totally done for today

Being absolutely useless today, need to take some meds for two weeks, which reduces me to a permanently hungry and tired mess. Instead of doing something reasonable I halfheartedly sort my hard drive and read very light literature

Feeling terribly nostalgic, despite having had an altitude sickness it was the most amazing landscape I have ever seen.

The muscle fatigue kicked in. I am more sore from yoga on Tuesday, than all the runs combined. The weather was lovely, I had an audiobook for company and have definitely earned my coffee. Training effect however is next to zero

The person who invented these shoes must be a sadist. They are okay for trails, but meant to hurt by design. With some tape under my socks I can manage, but it just feels wrong. Miss my old La Sportiva

Back home. Sleep deprived and in a desperate need for work related motivation. But - what I absolutely love about running- one can take it everywhere. Minus nasty blisters, but who cares.

Running in a cold rain sounds more romantic if you read about other people doing it, than doing it yourself. But still glad I went. Hot shower in sight.

One of the few benefits of a long commute - is that I get time to do some watercolours, which is the perfect medium on a train - very vibration resistant so to say.

That was the cutest run this year. As much as I love mountains I usually happiest if I can run near some body of water. Does it make sense?

This exactly is the motivation to get up at half past 6, leave warm nice bed and go for a 10k run. I got a nasty blister, but the view was worth it

Same mountains - different perspective. Lake Garda, Italy

When weather and halfhearted planing conspire against you. Needed to return after 15 km, next time I might even learn from own mistakes.

Berchtesgaden, Germany
Delayed train, alternative route via Salzburg and reluctance to read any kind of reviews- did the trick. When you do everything with the wrong timing and in the wrong order - you can have a touristy place all to yourself. Apparently

The small flower shop nearby sometimes leaves unsold flowers on their doorstep after hours - for anyone to pick up. These sunflowers have definitely seen better days, but still don’t deserve to end up in the trash yet

Morning run. Half a city is swallowed by fog

I am apparently not good with half measures - I mostly read queer (sci-fi) erotica or hardcore non fiction. This was the longest hold in the library so far - 16 weeks. Surprisingly enough it is a good company for some light code refactoring.

Adding to my collection of moody mountains - ironically I am felling the happiest in the settings that really seem to have escaped from darkest dark fantasy
October 13, 2025 at 5:56 PM
Another very moody hike around #tegernsee. The only time I think I might have read too many dark fantasy books

The scraped romantic of terribly delayed night trains.
