I have a blog. So I should blog something. Once in a while.
The problem in the past weeks and even months was that there was not much running happening in the Crazy German's running department. I am still struggling with injury. Had some painful attempts to maintain some sort of fitness. To avoid excessive weight gain. To have some fun.
I watched some big racing going on from a distance. The UTMB with a lot of great performances. A race out of my reach. Of course I watched Silke's superb ultra debut in the 42mile Devil. That kept my spirit going for a while. Yesterday we watched (some of) the Ben Nevis Race. Silke wrote a nice report about this. Have a look.
But running is not really a spectator sport. And there is some good news to report. I have manged a few longer runs in the last 10 days. Nothing spectacular. Last weekend a 12 miler followed by another 12 miler the following day. This Sunday I run the Lairig More and today I managed 19 miles. I consider this a green light for the Berlin Marathon in two weeks. So that's hopefully an event where I am actually running again and hopefully finishing. So that's something to look forward to.

Ian, thanks. Hopefully I'll make it to Inverness for watching the Marathon and we can meet and catch up before or after the race.
You don't sound terribly happy from your bloggig style. Hope you aren't too down and are back in top form soon. :-)
Thomas, I don't know if you've had a fortnight on holiday to enable you to read my blog of Saturday's seminar. But all will be revealed in part 3 regarding recovery!
Great to read you are running again Thomas. Keep it going and I look forward to hearing how you get on in Berlin
