Check-in

Hi Runners,

It's been a while since we had a Weekly Monthly Update...

Hope all is going well with you. I've managed to not post 2 race reports in the last month and I'm gearing up for the Silvesterlauf (New Year's Eve Run) here and then no races until March. How is the training going? How was/is your season? Any good tips for surviving the cold and dark winter here in the northern hemisphere?

(In case anyone's still interested, I managed to finish the Frankfurt Marathon in 4:16 after hitting the wall hard around km 34. Until then, I was exactly on track for my goal of 4:10. This was still an improvement of 12 minutes over my first marathon, but I was feeling so good in the first 27 km, that the utter misery of those last 8 really took me by surprise.)

Still an impressive marathon time from my end, congrats!

Argh, stupid cold (sick, not temps) got me out of running for weeks + have been busy with moving. Have only run once in the last 3 weeks :(

I love my Under Armour Frosty Tights, they are excellent for winter. And I bought a preeeetty heather Newline running jacket for below-freezing temps, but so far I've just worn it during the day, because it's so pretty and soft and warm - oh, and has super-long sleeves that fit me \o/

I hope to get back into the habit of running this week!

Oh, bummer, I hope you are feeling better now.
