Fifty runs till May #48 and the Steem Running Project

Run #48/50 - 96%: ✔

Today I had difficulties motivating myself. Both my running-partners were away, the temperature was below 0 degrees this morning, I wasn't feeling well ... all the factors not to go out for a run, but I did it anyway and in the process I set a new distance record for myself.

_{The destruction is still visible everywhere I ran}

• Weather: 0 degrees with poor visibility due to low fog so quite humid, but dry
• Distance: 12,15 kilometers
• Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes
• Pace: 5:45 min/km
• Training Effect: 4,4 = Highly Improving

I set off today in the hope that I could resume some of my old course after the devastation caused by the hurricane almost 2 weeks to go. I quickly found out that the people looking after our woods had too much work on their hands and many parts were still not able to access, so I had to just hope for the best.

_{This used to be very thick woods, where I've seen many deer. Now it's a new open place in the forrest.}

In the end I managed to do most of our own 'normal' route, but I did have to traverse over fallen trees and watch my step carefully at several parts. In the end I took a few unnessesary risks, like passing below a fallen over tree or going off the paths to get over trees. At a few other occasions I had to climb over trees to be able to continue. To my joy, I can say that most parts are more or less alright again and I hope that I/we can continue our normal runs in a week or two at the latest.

I also want to take a moment to bring your attention to the Steem Running Project, for those of you who run regularly and want a new motivation or just look for likeminded people, please go to this page. I have already registered and I am accepted. This is also my first post under this project.

I want to leave you with some more pictures of the destruction I faced today. It's really sad to see these beautiful woods destroyed like this, on the other hand, that's nature and will always be part of nature.

Keep running and remember to have fun!

_{I'm about 1,83m, the diameter of those roots were higher than I am!}

_{So many uprooted trees!}

_{'My god, I just passed this!'}

_{Right, the old route is blocked, so I'll have to take the left fork ... I actually did go on that route in the end and only got stuck at that point, so I took the risk to climb over it.}

_{Yes, I went underneath it to continue ... don't try this at home!}

_{I got back to the point that I photographed 2 shots above from the other side and took this picture when I was right in the middle of it ...}

_{... and this one!}

_{... and yes, this one as well!}
