new route to explore

19° celsius. cloudy and slightly windy. 17:22 (1:41:26)

it was the first time that i'm joining the running group from sportspaß. this group was introduced to me by guido after the alsterlauf and the trainer was there too asking me to join them.

finding the sportspaß center in city nord was not that easy. i had to walked around the damn building and when i finally found the place, everyone was ready to go. luckily the trainer recognised me and told me to hurry while they waited for me.

i didn't know what to expect from the training today. my damn gf305 couldn't find the satellites. i had to run without my gps system :-(. we started our run towards the airport but took a detour here and there. lucky for me my gf305 functioned properly again after about 1.5 km. we ran a short route from sunday's airport race run and then the trainer took us into some pathways and greens which i had never run before. it was really quiet and peaceful. the route was really interesting, we ran through several roads and pathways with single houses with gardens at the side, along a small river, around a small lake and garden houses. the area in northern hamburg. a new place to discover!

the route back was also interesting. it was a big contrast as to the beginning of the run. here huge roads with peak-hour traffic filling up the roads, people coming back from work or wherever. multistoreyed apartments/buildings accompanied our way towards our final destination, back to the center.

after we were done with the running, we had a little get-together snacks session accompanied with sparkling wine. it was really cosy. the fun part while sitting there was watching the group of people doing fitness aerobics - some of the guys there were totally hopeless (and funny) to imitate the instructor's movement!
