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. It's been a boring week running wise as the taper started but I had a little something to sink my teeth into this morning. 3 x 1600m with 2 min recovery. Warmup was 5k along a cycle path to the track in the next town. I was a little apprehensive as I had an awful workout last time I was here for some 1200's. My target was a flat 6 min for each. Times: 5:46, 5:54, 5:51. I was well chuffed, far better than anticipated. Finished with a 10k hill run to take me back. Total 20,3k in 1:30:04. av pace 4:26/k, 7:08/mi.

Good job on your mile repeats! They show some good speed. I looked up chuff since you have used it at least twice recently, it means breathing hard (like huffing and puffing)?

I ran just south of you for 5 years in Lahr. Enjoy! I still drag out pictures of the vineyards it was great running.
