5 miles this morning. Sunny again and definitely feeling some heat in the sun even at 6 a.m.
Had a nice friendly email back confirming my RW subscription cancellation and offering to transfer the remainder of the subscription to a different magazine.

Just over 6 miles (just over the hour) here in Freiburg. I think the kids must start school at 8am here as I was out around 7:30am and there were kids everywhere on bikes for the first mile or so but when I got back hardly any. Mainly cycle paths and flat and had a good run today.

Big G - so good to see you're out running regularly.
I think everything starts an hour earlier in Germany. When I was in Frankfurt and went for my recovery run the construction sites started up their noisy works at 7 a.m. Usually 8 a.m. here for noisy stuff.

Shades, thinking about it, today at around 7:45am on my run there were a couple of guys well into retarmacing a small stretch of road.

5+ for me today, another nice morning. It's about 12 degrees and sunny when I go out for my run, high humidity but that's not noticeable at that temperature.
Gym later this morning.

Had a great day yesterday exploring Freiburg, including a walk up to a viewpoint up a steep climb overlooking the city. It’s the most I’ve felt I’ve been able to be on my feet for quite some time. It’s a great city and we had Black Forest gateaux here, bratwurst from the market, etc.
Up and out fairly early today as Tigg needs he’s worming treatment administered by a vet here, and also needs his paperwork signed to get him back into the country. Next time we’re in NL we’re hoping to get him a European pet passport registered with OH’s Mum (it needs to be registered with an EU address), which if we can get one will hopefully save all this hassle.
Rest day today from running and hopefully parkrun tomorrow, which should take me to 20 miles this week!
I have a rough plan forming of trying to maintain running 4 times a week for 3 or 4 weeks, maybe getting up to about 30 miles for a week after 3 or 4 weeks, whilst also Zwifting in between. Fingers crossed! Wattbike delivery confirmed for 2 days after I return which will give me time to sort out/tidy up the pain cave before the bike arrives. Actually excited about it arriving!

Good luck to Keith and Steve, both racing today.
Big G - good idea to get Tigg nationalised as a Dutch dog and do away with all that faff and expense every time you travel.
Hope you reach your 20mpw target today.
Rest day for me today, longish run planned for tomorrow

WP - I've had an OK week, thank you.
I suggest you write your own training plan, you know what works for you and what you like. Or just take a marathon plan and use the first few weeks of that, no need to do the longest runs obviously 🙄
Perhaps one or two shorter races built into the plan, if there are any suitable events.
