Edward's Marathon Training Site

Today's run went out to investigate a little peninsula that I have seen many times across the river while in Treptower Park. I didn't expect there to be a running path all around its perimeter, but there was, and the whole half island turned out to be a little paradise, a wonderful secret place for a sunny day if you like lying on the grass in the sun close to the water. It was a hot and beautiful day, the heat and distance got to me at 32K but had a nice shady run home from there along the Teltow canal, another nice reconnaissance run, I feel like I know Berlin a little bit better now, had no idea it had a hidden peninsula.

first sights make you think the whole peninsula is abandoned and run down: 

 

 

 

 

 

then you arrive in a minor paradise: 

 

 

 

a perfect route for a run, the path goes along the perimeter of the peninsula all the way around: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

here's a map of the peninsula, it said that Karl Marx used to live here while working on his doctorate in Berlin, but then, everybody has to work on their doctorate somewhere
