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. Another bitter cold morning for a recovery run. I felt weary after 2 days of hard workouts and the pace and distance was enough. Total 12,1k in 1:00:56, av pace 5:02/k, 8:06/mi. Look forward to some warmer weather on its way to us, at least hopefully some plus temps in the early morn.

I sure hear you on the warmer weather longings. Seems like you've had very similar weather to us Utahns out there in your neck of the woods. I think I may plan a huge celebration party the first morning of 2008 I'm able to run in shorts. But I have to think suffering through all the high mileage weeks thru the winter you'll be seeing a huge PR for your upcoming marathon.

Yeah, the weather can be miserable! The air quality here in Utah is awful, so I try to run indoors when I can, but I do long for outdoor running. Good luck with your running goals!!
