Berlin Bound!

Knocked about by the bad cold which had me feeling very average since Tuesday, not helped by the start of silly season as the booze doesn't aid recovery.

Finally felt well enough to get out today for the usual route and, with a few days rest, the legs felt very fresh. 14.04km in 58:56 (4:12's).

Big news is that the Berlin trip has been confirmed, we've paid entries and booked accommodation. It's a great crowd of tourists - Kanser, Young Timmy, Enda, Tucks, Rob C, Macca, Barts, Big Sam, J-Fen, Renaud and my mate from Fairlight, Steve B. Berlin Marathon just happens to land smack in the middle of Oktoberfest so post marathon recovery will be down in Munich. Can't wait.

Jamie - fancy a short trip up to Berlin lat September?

Tell me how to get entries and I'll get a group from France to come over too. We've got our usual crowd of 10 that would love to come. Could be a great weekend when Oz meets France!!!
Need to sort this quick.

Jamie - you'll need to go through a tour package as normal entries have sold out. However, the packages are pretty good although normally based on a minimum 3 night accommodation. We've gone through one in Aus - a quick Google search showed this one in the UK (http://www.sportstoursinternational.co.uk/running/runners-world-berlin-marathon) and a mate showed a good package from an Irish outfit.

This could be the Timmy v Jamie ultimate challenge!
