Today I bought my first pair of running shoes. Adidas Response TRV. Tried them out 30 minutes during sunset. For the first time I ran on my own. No military requirement, no friends dragging me outside. Pulse was much too high of course (around 150) but I guess I did ok for a beginner.
The goal: to run away from aging. The final push to try and start came from Dr. med. Strunz whose book “Forever Young” I am currently devouring. Who knows, maybe I can even participate in the Vienna City Marathon some day.
