2011 Berlin Marathon

There's nothing like getting thrown in at the deep end. Yes, the entry is official in, - and there's no going back now. Only injury will foil the plan. I've been to Berlin before, flew into the airport and out by car, seeing not much more than the autoban. It was always the intention to return and seen the city properly, and aim to fulfill the oath. And whats a better way to see Berlin than running 26 miles of city roads? Just wondering if dragging yourself by the nails along tarmac and slavering uncontrollably constitutes sightseeing. There was also the option of a 'double entry', where you finish the marathon, run and get your roller blades and go round again. This had once again confirmed that the Germans a likeably mental.



Entry is open to 40,000 competitors, so the buzz should be awesome. Where to begin in the training stakes for this one is still up in the air. Best go and have another biscuit and a sit down and formulate a plan...........
