After an inspiring conference with 25.000 earth scientists in San Francisco, I run my favorite loop from downtown, to the Haight-Ashbury, then through the Golden Gate Park and to finish finally at the Golden Gate Bridge, which suddenly appeared out of the fog after about 100 minutes running – a nice trail and every time an impressive city!

Now on the way towards Tucson following the famous and spectacular Highway 1, several miles will be discovered cruising or running:-)! Few images and greetings from a morning run close to Santa Cruz and the following X-Mas remainder (4 days only!!!) in a cozy breakfast place in Monterey.

Temperatures and hours of sunshine are increasing from day to day heading south, yeah!

After an extended rest I am back to running – simply great feeling! I also fixed the first training camp in 2015. Like last year -but with an extra seven days- I am going to Iten, Kenya!

“Is that real life?” – sometimes I had to pinch myself. Now, I reckon that I have troubles to recall all the achievements I have made in 2014. Nevertheless, I know that I had great times during trainings, remember the excitement facing new challenges and the joy racing including the subsequent satisfaction fulfilling personal goals. I learned a lot about the purity of running as well as about myself. I am thankful for this experience and of course I am as hungry as never before to attack appealing challenges which lay in front of me.

Here you will find a brief summary about the highlights of my life as a marathon runner….
