20km were actually on the plan today, but sometimes you have to change your priorities, so today a short tour through the Vessertal in the late afternoon

Nothing happens.
I run in a blue floral dress through white-yellow meadows.

The sun is shining. The wind blows a cool breeze through the valley.

The paths are easy. Gentle ascent. Sometimes gravel, sometimes soft forest floor.

The black Crux is pitch black. Only the camera films as if nothing is happening.
