August 29, 2026,2️⃣5️⃣. Elstertallauf in Gera 🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️▶️⏺️◀️🏃🏼‍♀️

I think it went quite well, apart from the 4️⃣ or 5️⃣ walking sections between kilometer 3️⃣ and 8️⃣.
After the turn ↪️ it felt like only headwinds 🌬️🏃🏼‍♀️, which (probably) didn't just slow me down quite a bit.
But: the first 🔟k in a long time. I'm satisfied 😊.

Today, our cross-country run got "serious."
My goal, the goal! Goal achieved! 🤪
Considering I had cramps in my left calf for the first 2.5 km, the last 7.5 km went pretty well (in my opinion). 😌
