Is there a German word that encapsulates “the joy of running in muddy trails in the misty morning”?

@thibaultamartin I guess more generally you’re looking for “Lebensfreude”, the joy of being alive. For a weirder approach you could just chain descriptive words together, like Herbstmatschmorgennebeltraillauffreude. (Fall mud morning mist trail running joy).

@thibaultamartin That sounds lovely.

My last run, having been "roped in" to this mad world of trail running by my main man @taziden , was around the hills of Greenwich Park as the sun fell.

That could do with a German word too, the feeling of mild resilience as the night falls and you keep going.

A view of London from the Greenwich observatory: a darkening sky with some tall buildings in the distance, the whole line of buildings shines against the background.
In the front, a few people are looking at the view from the observation platform.

@thibaultamartin Well. My German isn't good enough to come up with a 20+ character long German incantation. I'm a level 9 Swedish speaker though (which *is* a Germanic language!). 😉

So *drumroll* how about:

Höstrusklöparglädje

? 😆
