Berlin Marathon Weekend with Lorie and Craig

They came for this special event all the way from Michigan - and it was a blast - the Berlin Marathon weekend with Lorie and Craig!

Awarm up sightseeing 6miler on Friday (easy jog along the main sights like Reichstag, Bundeskanzleramt, Checkpoint Charlie, Siegessaeule, Holocaust Memorial - and even a little test run ahead of the parked race car and the starting mile us well as thru Brandenburg Gate - which was already blocked for traffic - just the 3 of us jogging along ;-))

We left the town on Saturday for a nice stroll along the castles in Potsdam - Sanssouci etc. -

Finally on Sunday the big race - Ronja and me saw them twice along the route - Lorie smiling at km 19 and 42! The atmosphere along the course was outstanding - goose bumps for me and the finish area was just big beats and a lot of cheering before we could finally take the picture for the two of them with their medal! What an experience - who is in next year?!
