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. Very warm & humid, felt good initially but my legs felt trashed on the hills at the end. Easy pace, total 35.3k in 2:51:09, av pace 4:51/k, 7:48/mi. I've registered for Frankfurt marathon end of Oct. Plenty of easy long running planned for the hot summer months of Jul/Aug. I'm still dithering about entering another small local 'Landschaft' marathon on the 7th Sep.

That's a really great pace for the 3K and a solid overall pace for a long run. You'll tear it up in Oct.

Wow, you just keep getting stronger and stronger. Keep it up!

Great job on the workout Ian, your conditioning is awesome. I agree with the others, you should see a great marathon come October.
