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. 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. | | Comments(3) |

A.M. A game of fives. I had felt really weary yesterday, hills can be pretty sneaky - you think it was an easy workout but they come and jump on your back afterwards. It was also the hottest recorded day so far this year across the whole of Germany. I whimped out of an evening jog with Johanne and asked her to go for a walk with me instead (I blush even to write that). This morning I was still feeling some fatigue. Workout was 5 x 5k alternate easy/hard. Splits for each 5k were: 24:15, 19:58, 25:01, 20:04, 24:38. I was disappointed with the 4th split, I really wanted to be under the 20 min mark. I clawed back some time on the last k but not enough. Total 25k in 1:53:56, av pace 4:33/k, 7:20/mi.
Hooray for the froggies. They are sending over some Unwetter across the border this evening - rain, hail and more importantly a drop in the temp by 5-7 degrees. Jolly decent of them! | | Comments(2) |
