I didn't realize how cold it was in the first quarter of an hour. But then I felt my thumbs go strangely numb... and I did not get them warm - or anything near that - until I was under a hot shower again. Nevertheless, a beautiful morning! I'm really sorry to leave tomorrow. And I don't know yet wheter I will find the time to go for a stroll tomorrow morning. There isn't much time before I have to leave for my train back home...

It was freezing - or so it seemed (I did'nt know how cold it would be the other day). After a demanding run across the vinyards and fields, my father and I started a day-trip to Saarbrücken. We had planned this for a long time. Our aim was to get photographs of the villages around that area which came into existing during the industrial revolution. Our hands nearly froze off during the photo-session, but the results were worth it!

no run today.

7:52 - 8:35 a.m., - 1 centigrade.

A almost stormy morning, chilly, cloudless. I watched the break of dawn through the windows of our living room, and, after a first cup of coffee, went out for a 40minutes run. on my way back, behind some vineyard-fields, I could see several crows and a buzzard 'playing' in the wind.
