Es läuft wieder
Will sagen: Ich laufe wieder. (Falls man das so nennen kann, wenn man alle 500 Meter erstmal wieder ins Gehen zurückschalten muss, um wieder Luft zu holen. Aber immerhin.)

This sure is a jogging city, ppl seem to be jogging everywhere, all the time… I’m a bit of a loner with my “nordic walking”-sticks (aka nerdy sticks), but I did catch glimpse of a fellow nerd the other night! She seemed pleased to see me too…!
Yay for any type of movement, actually. (Back when I could jog, before my back got too screwed up, I used to have music on – and it was a great way to “measure” progress. I started from the same playlist every time, and could easily note how much longer into the first song I could actually keep running, before I had to stop. And if I really succeeded putting the playlist together, the best song would alway come up right when I was near-death, but I still had to run when THAT song came up. Music rocks – for everything,pretty much!)
Did you run around the lake? We walked there and I thought of you as I saw the many joggers (since you mentioned taking up jogging again), and the many ppl w/ cameras (like myself!)… A lovely day it was, both for shooting photos and jogging!

No, I am not running around the lake (yet). It’s approx. 7.5 km. Also, running around there seems to be less about the running than the being seen, and currently I do not fancy being seen…
Yes, music… Good idea actually, but I, well, have some, say, difficulties with coming to terms with my taste in music. (I see I need to write about this once.)
If you are looking for “nerdy sticks” you’ll need to walk up to the Stadtpark, they’re all there. ;-)

Heh – I’m rather glad the “less about running, more about being seen” was for real, I noticed – but kind of thought it was just me…! I don’t give much for that kind of exhibitionistic exercising either, so I can definitely relate there. :)
Ah, last.fm… I should probably revive my account there – I used to have one, but then came Spotify and I didn’t really need it. But now I do. When, oh when are German music companies (or whoever it is) going to sign up for the best music service on the planet… ;) I shall check our playlists out tomorrow, it’s getting too late right now – but personally I think any music you like is good for exercise. But then again – that comes from a walker, not a runner… I have Josh Groban (tenor, I believe) in my iPod. Great for nerdy-stick-walking…! Which I shall head for Stadtpark to check out, thanks for the tip! I haven’t even been there yet, but now I have another reason to go!

Großartig! Laufen ist definitiv richtig für Dich. Ich freue mich um so mehr, dass Du alleine los wartst, weil ich seit ner Woche überlege, wie ich Dich dazu kriege – hab das dann aber doch verschlumpft.
Ich merke bei mir, wie sehr mir das regelmäßige Laufen fehlt. Eigentlich haben wir ja mit den Kollegen den Dienstagstermin… allerdings war in diesem Jahr viel zu häufig am Dienstag Matschwetter oder Glatteis oder angeschlagene Bronchien oder Dienstreisen. Bin nicht sicher, ob ich im Schnitt einen Lauf in 3 Wochen hinbekommen habe, entsprechend scheiße gehts mir körperlich.
Wenn Du einen Partner für einen Abendlauf brauchst, ich bin dabei. Zu zweit drückt man sich seltener. Alster oder Stadtpark, beides geht von Dir aus. Und wenn wir ganz mutig werden, stürzen wir uns in den “nerdy stick park” bei mir im Alstertal. Ich bin dahingehend abgehärtet.
Erstmal nur gehen ist keine Ausrede. Ich gehe mit Dir auch gerne ne Runde ;-)
