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.

Another solid workout for you. When's your next marathon scheduled?

Good job on the MP run! It is always nice when you get positive feedback early in a run to know that it is going to be good.
