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.)

I think it took me the amount of time I was laid up. I couldn't run for four months, so it took me four months to get back to speed.
