Today, the weather was all over the place. It started with sunshine all the way to Lauffen, then hail and heavy rain hit Lauffen. Light rain in Meimsheim. It was dry again in Botenheim until Bönnigheim, then rain again 😁 It was up and down...but it was still beautiful. I came home, and there was no rain 😁

Having almost recovered from the flu, I went for a slightly longer run today. It was quite strenuous 🫣 my legs felt heavy and my head was spinning 😞. But it felt really good to be out in the fresh air. 😊🚴

Since I had no plan today and the weather was pretty uncertain in the morning, I spontaneously went on one of my favorite tours. It was great 👍 and the weather held up too.
