The most important thing is to to try Sometimes when running it’s necessary to to follow your thoughts and new ideas Only those who who do something wholeheartedly dare to to let go to to leave the the well-known and follow their impulses That That way you get new new perspectives and new new experiences That That is so much more rewarding NOTTAKINGTHE
SHORTEST WAY
Sometimes I I I worry that that I I I will will lose lose my my sense of my my playfulness that that I I I will will lose lose it somewhere on on the the the road to becoming the the the best version of myself myself as as a a a a a a a a runner and ski alpinist But then I can reassure myself myself by recalling some of my my my many playful memories for example from Grand Teton National Park in in the US Kilian my partner in in in crime and and I were going for a a a a a a a a a a a a a run We had looked at the the map and seen a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a mountain a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a bit further away but without any trail trail leading all the the the the the the way way to it it it the the the the the the trail trail ended at at a a a a a a a a a a a big lake On the the the the the the other side the the the the the the mountain rose over the the the the the water We decided to run off trail through the the forest That was easier said than done We were engulfed in big jun- gle-like trees and bushes The 4 km approach took us us more than three hours But wow this was so so awesome! We had managed to to to to come to to to to Mount Maron a a a a a a a a a a a a mountain that few visitors have seen The climb to to to the summit was fast Curiosity and relief at running without having to jump over or under bushy branches made it it it easy Like a a a a a game On our our our way back we decided to swim We rolled our our our our cellphones in our our our our t-shirts and tied them around our our our heads Neither of us can brag about any impressive swimming skills Kilian might even have doggie paddled We laughed until we we choked and and it it was heavy and and stren- uous With turbans on on our our heads we we calmly continued our our swim swim A couple of of kilometres of of swimming felt almost as as long as as the the entan- glement in in the jungle If ever I I I hesitate to deviate from what I I I have planned planned memories like this make me me leave the the planned planned road in the the end FREEDOM 50
