Since relocating to a new training range just a block away, my archery has seen major improvements! Training almost daily has allowed me to start rebuilding my form and confidence with 4 weeks to go before the German Target Championships. Though I am not often able to practice at 70 meters, I manage 45 and use a smaller target placed higher on the bail in order to simulate 70 meters. The most important thing is just being able to shoot again. Nearly two years have past since I was able to train full time. There is so little time left but I will do my best and hope I have improved enough to help my teammates to victory.

In 8 weeks time is the Berlin Marathon and I am well ahead of schedule preparing for the 42.195 km run. Last Saturday night I ran with my running club, LG Mauerweg, along the former trail of the Berlin Wall. We started at 22:30 and ran until 08:10 for a total of 68.0 km! It was my first ultra over the marathon distance! It was actually quite good until 61.0 km and then started real battle as I fought fatique on various levels. When I finished there was an amazing euphoria that washed over me that this tiny blog could never ever express. Just suffice to know that the human body is amazing!
