stats of the week: run 5 km, cycled 104 km
It was a lazy week, mainly because of the exceptional heatwave that brought record temperatures to Germany. Back home, the heat is even less bearable than it was in Provence. There are younger runners who still go out when the temperature rises above 30°C, but at 73 I no longer feel able to cope with those conditions. Unfortunately, our gym membership has been temporarily suspended until the end of June, so that was not an option either.
At least I managed to get out for two easy rides on flat roads this week, which did more for my spirits than for my fitness. I was delighted to meet Günter on the route, a running legend from the neighbouring town of Bochum. He has been running for more than 50 years and, at his peak, completed marathons comfortably under three hours. Now, at 78, he is still out there on the roads. A true role model.
