Animated GIF - for any reason

I don't know why, but for any reason everybody - at least every blog - needs its own Animated GIF.
Well then...

New York - Rio - Tokyo

As I am now living in Bavaria, I have managed to visit New York, Rio and Rosenheim (Wiki). But now, I am officially allowed to sing along when "New York, Rio, Tokyo" (Wiki) is playing on the radio. As I just realized that this song did not enter the charts anywhere else in the world, probably only Germans might care about this. However, I made it to Tokyo - and I was really impressed. Early morning at Shibuya crossing.

Google announced the Design Language "Material Design" in Summer 2014.

The idea to participate in the Berlin Marathon came up together with the idea to move to the capital. So that must have been around April or May. I had not been running all winter long. Seriously, after the "3 Länder Marathon" in October last year, I did not want to run at all. Looking back, that was a traumatic experience. Not that the result would have been bad, not at all. The problem was, that I just wanted to run this 42k to "put a check on this". I was in quite good shape at that time, as I had trained for the 70.3 IronMan in Austria for quite a while. I just wanted to take advantage of this and then stop all of this endurance sports bull*. That's what I thought at that time. I made it, but it was a horrible race. Pouring rain, cold, wind - real pain was already starting at k25. That is too early! So I was fed up with running after that. For sure, I did not stop with sports. I swam a lot all winter through, went skiing, practice yoga. But no running.
