Last night was another night of tossing and turning due to the lingering warm air. My wife and I are both having trouble getting enough sleep. This morning I could really feel the effect, I woke up wearily and reluctantly. On the positive side my legs feel good, no muscle aches or anything like sometimes happens after a hard race.
Normally we experience a couple weeks of upper-90F temperatures in August, but this year it has started a month early and there is no sign of mild temperatures anytime soon.
On Saturday night a Tornado set down in Hambrucken, which is about 11K/7M miles from our house. A TORNADO people, this is Germany, not Kansas – I didn’t think they had tornados in Germany! According to the newspaper this morning up to a hundred houses were slightly damaged and hundreds of trees were uprooted or damaged. There was only one reported injury, a middle-aged man fell of the roof when he was trying to secure the tiles during high winds.
I saw signs of the storm damage during my half-marathon yesterday, which incidentally ran through the forest behind Hambrucken. Race organizers said they were up half the night before the race removing trees and limbs so we could run. Wow!
Guess where my next half-marathon is on August 26th - tornado alley Hambrucken!
There's a first for everything. Tornadoes in Germany ... what next? It's scary really.
Anyway, well done during the race, the heat and humidity really don't allow a PR at the moment.
OMG!!!
