 | Marathon Running
go here if you want to be inspired to run a marathon
I completed the Berlin Marathon last fall with my second best time: 04:14:28 and just did a slow spring marathon in Hannover. Now starts the training for my first sub-four marathon in Berlin this September. Visit this site if you are interested in doing a marathon and don't think you have enough time and want to be motivated. I have links to my other Marathon running sites from 2007 and 2006: you can see pictures of the Berlin Marathon, my Berlin South-Wall run, Treptow Park run, and some others. Plus there's the link to my 2006 running blog that I had going with my brother Pete with our reports of the Munich and Memphis marathons we did for our 40th and 50th birthdays. Run hard, stay young!
