The weather was perfect for running this morning: It was fresh, the sky was blue and the sun was shining. So six of us set off on the nine-kilometer route through the fields around Obervellmar. A perfect run to start a sunny Saturday!

Today was not good running weather. It was raining heavily and a thunderstorm could be heard in the distance. Due to the approaching thunderstorm, the official running group was canceled. However, as we were already at the meeting point, we formed a small group anyway and set off on the 9-kilometer route. During the run, the thunderstorm came closer, so we decided to take the shortest route back. Shortly before the finish line, however, the rain and thunderstorm had passed, so we still managed to complete our 9 kilometers with a few extra paths.

Over Easter, there was a special opportunity to run in Düsseldorf: the “Sunday Running Club,” an initiative by a local clothing brand, meets every Sunday at 9 a.m. at Carlsplatz for a relaxed 10-kilometer run along the Rhine. The route passes by the Rheinturm, Medienhafen, the old town, and crosses the river twice – offering stunning views. The focus is on community and the joy of running, not on performance. The atmosphere is welcoming and motivating, and age doesn’t matter. For many, it’s become a weekly ritual – and I was thoroughly impressed. A clear recommendation for runners visiting Düsseldorf!

I hadn't thought of any particular route today. So we just set off in the 9-kilometer group and took the route that suited us. The first half of the route was easy, but there were a few more meters of elevation gain on the second half. But it was great running weather again, so it was still a nice run.

Today the LG Vellmar started again at 09:30 am. There were only three of us in the 9 km group. With the fantastic running weather and lots of sunshine, there should have been more of us. Nevertheless, we had a nice run in the sunshine through the Vellmar field.

At LG Vellmar, we were again a larger group for the 9 kilometers today. So we were able to run a nice loop around Obervellmar in the best running weather with the last rays of sunshine.

With the time change, the Vellmar LG meeting point starts again at 09:30 on Saturday. Today we ran a lap around Frommershausen in bright sunshine and cool temperatures. I fell for the first time today while running. I wasn't paying attention on a narrow sidewalk and ran over the kerb and fell. Luckily I only had a few grazes on my knee and fingers. Despite the little mishap, it was a nice run in the sunshine.

Today the starting signal was given for the marathon base at LG Vellmar. This means that all runners can train for the Kassel Marathon at LG Vellmar. We ran a beautiful lap through the fields with the 9-kilometer group in fantastic running weather. We were accompanied by a young woman from the marathon team.
