This one will start in March 2024, and I will write a separate post about it. So, when you want to know more about concurrency, you know what to do.

The result is that I can only walk a few steps. Consequently, I have had a wheelchair since Monday, and we went on our first excursion. It was very nice to be outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks a lot, Beatrix. I know it is very exhausting to push myself up a mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My New Passion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know that I have done a lot of sports in the past. Sometimes up to 30\/hours a week. For example, a typical week consists of 400 km by bicycle, 80 km running, and 15 km swimming. I reduced this to 2 hours of bicycling a day in the last years. I was also 15 years athletic trainer of the Rottenburg youth. Six of my youth athletes reached the German finals a few times, running between 800 m and 5000 m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, I am searching for a new passion, and I found it. Her name is Luci, and she is 1\/2-year-old and a bit shy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Untitled-1-1030x562.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9046\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Untitled-1-1030x562.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Untitled-1-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Untitled-1-768x419.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Untitled-1-1536x839.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Untitled-1-1500x819.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Untitled-1-705x385.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Untitled-1.jpg 1546w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ALS Fundraising Campaign: \u20ac9000<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"1006\" src=\"https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/booty-153593_1280-1030x1006.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9049\" style=\"width:200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/booty-153593_1280-1030x1006.png 1030w, https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/booty-153593_1280-300x293.png 300w, https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/booty-153593_1280-768x750.png 768w, https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/booty-153593_1280-36x36.png 36w, https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/booty-153593_1280-705x688.png 705w, https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/booty-153593_1280.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">                                                      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m proud to say that I can donate<strong> \u20ac9000 <\/strong>to the ALS research.
