Personal:

I'm a Brit living in a small town in the south west of Germany, on the edge of a nature park, the Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald. The landscape is very hilly with vineyards & orchards on the lower slopes merging into forest above. 42 years young, married since 1997 to my lovely wife.

A.M. No pain when I got up so I went out for a run on the cycle path. 2k warm then 4 x 2k at M.P. with 1,6 easy inbetween. Played gauge the pace game, my aim for the 2k's was 8:24-8:30 and without looking at the garmin I hit 8:21, 8:13, 8:15, 8:20. Not so far out. Finished with 4k cooldown which was when my left hamstring started hurting. Afterwards the muscle is sore and painful again :-( Total 18,8 in 1:26:50, av pace 4:37/k, 7:26/mi.

Ian good job on the workout. I think our left hamstrings have conspired to give us both grief this week. Hopefully things get better from here on out.

Hope everything is going ok with your hamstring.

Hope your hamstring's doing better. My right ham is my trouble maker.

Ian I hope things are OK with you. Haven't seen a blog entry for a few days so just wondering if that hamstring has forced an unplanned layoff. Hope things are going well.

Ian! Where are you? Please tell me you jetted off to some exotic vacation again, not sidelined by injury.

I'm beginning to think we need to start forming search parties! Not seeing you on the mileage board is becoming quite disconcerting. Add no blogging to that and I believe I'm starting to get the DTs....where art thou???

Hey Ian, It's Benn. I am writing to see how things are and if you would consider coming back to the blog.
