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.

Wow I see you're getting back to the high mileage this week.

Good job on the tempo miles. It usually takes a good while to recover from a marathon but you seem to be doing quite well.

Thanks Tom, I'm trying to build up my aerobic fitness again concentrating on mileage and possibly a few races this month to use as speed workouts.
