ATG-Winterlauf, Aachen 2019

Sometimes you want too much! Sometimes you have to die! This time I died!Every year in December there is the “ATG Winterlauf”, a 18 km long run. The track isn’t very good, it’s pity, but okay. It’s more fun because of my club! We run together! But I forgot my registration of the “ Light the Night Run ”. So I had to start at the winter run the morning after the night run. It was too much! I died at around 15 km. Lump sugar and some cake at the last water station gave me some power to survive the run. It was definitive too much, not enough rest and energy for both runs. I sadly lost around 15 minutes compare to the last year…..

As I have already told, and you certainly know, most events are yearly events. So, in 2018 it becomes the third time I ran the “ ATG Winterlauf ”. It’s a big event with over 2000 starters in the running scene in my hometown. Even if it’s (in my opinion) not the most beautiful run, it is more or less part of the compulsory program. If you think you are a dedicated runner, you are taking part! So I did! Many friends from “ Lustlauf - Mein Verein ” took part. It was cold because especially at this event you have to wait up to an hour outside in the winter weather for the start. But sure it was again fun pure!

One of the most popular running sport event in my hometown and at the same time almost the end of the sports year is the ATG Winterlauf. We, the Lustlauf - Mein Verein e.V., take part on this 18km (~11,2 miles) run from the old to the new clubhouse of the ATG. This event is held every year in the middle of December. The track is a mixture of street- and field run, with some trail parts. The great thing is, that it isn’t a round. We travel by buses to the start point. Once you sit in the bus there is no backing out! You have to run! As you can imagine, it’s a bit special. Further it is in the wintertime. It’s cold, mostly wet and if you are lucky everything is white because of the snow. I like to run in the winter. Okay, I like it in every season: summer, winter, spring and autumn. But in the winter the air is extra fresh! You breathe cold air extra deep. It feels great. And the look of the nature: white of snow, sleepy quiet and the special blue daylight. I love it! It’s...
