Place 1st in my age category. 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. Favorite Blogs: |

| A.M. Enjoying some warmer weather, an early start to pick up a local 1/2 M course that involves mainly cycle paths but also some road running for a change. Legs felt a little tired this morning but slipped into a comfortable gear and kept it steady thoughout. Total 22k in 1:38:26, av pace 4:28/k, 7:12/mi. | | Comments(3) |

| A.M. After just missing a record breaking temperature for Feb on Sun (21°C/70°F), the weather was still mild today but slowly getting back to normal. An easy paced recovery run, nothing special and over before it had begun. Total 10,1k in 49:29, av pace 4:54/k, 7:53/mi. | | Add Comment |

A.M. Short easy paced run, 8,1k in 36:43, av pace 4:32/k, 7:18/mi.
P.M. Evening run, short & easy pace again. 7,4k in 32:41, av pace 4:25/k, 7:06/mi. I don't look at the garmin until the end of these runs, choosing to run by feel. This was a tad too fast. | | Comments(2) |

A.M. Stormy with cold winds, back to shivering until I warmup. Today was a mini dress rehearsal, wore my marathon racers but you can forget the slip and shorts - too cold. Warmup 5k at easy pace, then slipped into marathon pace for a couple of miles, then easy again for 5k. No probs other than an ache in the outside of my left knee, only myself to blame as I caused it yesterday with some over zealous stretching. Total 13k in 58:30, av pace 4:30/k, 7:15/mi.
I've been reducing my calorie intake this week because of the taper. I'd thought I would put weight on but the opposite has happened and my weight has dropped a kilo to 67,3kg/148lb. It will come back up again when I start carbo loading Fri/Sat. When I first started running I weighed 92kg/203lb, now no one asks me to help them move furniture. | | Comments(1) |

A.M. Easy paced recovery run. Felt a bit sluggish today, I really miss some decent longer runs. Total 10k in 49:00, av pace 4:54/k, 7:53/mi.
Well, that's it for a while, we're off to the airport this afternoon to fly to Turkey. The marathon is this Sun morning 8am, then we have a holiday for a week to enjoy before we fly back the following Sun. I will catch up then, and yes I have remembered to pack my race kit in my flight bag. | | Comments(9) |
