Another skiing trip to Austria. This time to Altenmarkt in the Salzburger Land. We had great weather, fantastic snow and I really improved my skiing skills this time. So even for a late starter like me it makes some fun now.

We moved into our new house on November 30th, 2007. Pictures are shown in the "house" section. We spent all of December "moving in" and there is still lots to do. Running is a little on the back burner right now.

Dear Friends, Thanks to all who sponsored me. Especially my relatives and colleagues. It was a big event and I ran my personal best for 5km. More info about the run after the jump.....< More Information>

That was my home race. I finished in a very good time. My kids were standing at the curb and were giving me water. Kelkheim Semimarathon

Dear Friends, I did pass the CISSP exam after participating the bootcamp in Rotenburg, Germany (the city is infamous for the "cannibal" who ate bodyparts of another man in consent with him. Both met in an Internet chat room before they met for dinner. Only the cannibal survived the dinner). But we are side tracking. Check out what CISSP is all about after the jump: ISC2 home

I ran my best for 10km (under one hour that is). I told you I was an occasional jogger ;-). It was a cool day with drizzling rain. The people in Wallau were standing left and right, cheering and providing water and strawberries. Every participant could get a freshly baked bread. Next year I will participate again. Mittsommerlauf Wallau

JPMCCC The largest single running event. It took us 45min to get to the STARTING line after the race was started. After that it was more a slalom race. More than 65000 runners and walkers.

Official link, photos and some reports. Pfingstlauf TUS Hornau 10km I really had a good time. The weather was a bit on the rainy side but still ok during the race. The race itself was leading through unpaved trails.

36. Griessheimer Merck-Strassenlauf 10km Here you will find a general report about the race. No pictures from me though ;-). (As if I would be under the first). Laufreport

5. Frankfurt City Halfmarathon With little training and a flu I participated. My time wasn't great at all. I chose the wrong clothes, the weather was warm

SG Eintracht Frankfurt - Hannover 96 2:0 My son and I enjoyed the game. Eintracht made 3 important points. Albert Streit was the best.

Israel Great country. Great weather. The trip was on business, so I spent most of the time with customers. We went up to Akko on our free day to see the catacombs of the Knight Templars. Humus, Kebap, Goldstar was my preferred food. My dear friends invited me to a shabat evening celebration at their home including Kiddush.

Bern , Switzerland Went to Switzerland on business. The picture is from the Kornhaus Keller. A wonderful old place.

Skiing again This time to Neukirchen in Austria. And although there was little snow the weather was great and skiing was fun. We had a perfect time. No injuries. We stayed at a family run business and had immediately contact with the owner and his family. On the downside we had to endure Scottish teenagers from around Glasgow on their yearly school trip staying in the same hotel. The big rock in the background is the "Grosser Rettenstein"

First Advent Frankfurt X-mas market. On a surprisingly warm Sunday afternoon we went to the Frankfurt X-mas market. We had the best Glühwein and other X-mas specialties. Great time and the kids had lots of fun. We met some friends and enjoyed the atmosphere at the famous Merry-Go-Round.

Alessa Chemie Mainuferlauf in Offenbach My first semimarathon. Quite an experience. 650 starters on a wonderful, sunny, warm October Sunday morning. 21km on the promenade and trails along the Main river. The mist was still settled on the river banks but the sun was warm and bright. I started the race slow and came in with the second half of the field.

Austin, TX, SXSW 2006 On the trip to Austin you should visit a couple of places: a) Dr.Pepper Bottling Company and the Dr.Pepper museum in Waco,TX. Where it all began. Provides a good overview about the history of soft drink production and marketing in general. b) Shiner Brewery in Shiner,TX. Small town, cool brewery. Exporting now to other states as well.
