Day 4 - Berlin Marathon

Today was the Berlin marathon. Cathie and 58,000 other runners traveled 42.2 km around the city.
Weather was cool at the start but the sun was shining and eventually it hit about 14 C. Less windy than the past two days.
Bob was a great supporter. He got me to the start and then took my warm clothes for later.
I had bought a throw away hoodie that I would donate at the start line.
Race was so crowded the entire time. I have never run a race that big before.
My time was slower than I had hoped, 4:49:27, but I was injured the last three weeks so just thankful I was able to run.
We celebrated with German beer and schnitzel afterwards.
Now we are packing and getting ready to head to the airport at 4:30 am for our morning flight to Zurich.
We then catch three trains to Wegan where we meet up with our friends Janet & Gary and Sharon & Steve for a week of hiking. 🥾
Between Bob’s knee and my sore legs we are going to be quite the couple.
Thanks for following along on my race today.Read more
