I just signed up for the Berlin Marathon on September 28. I have one friend that has run a marathon on every continent (before he was 27!) and he said that running a marathon is a great way to see what a city has to offer. We'll be making it into a three-day weekend as well, just in case the marathon doesn't satisfy my tourist cravings. Hopefully my legs can handle a little sightseeing after the race.
My goal is to break three hours and I've enlisted the coaching skills of a good friend to help me reach this goal. I haven't run a marathon that fast since Chicago 2003 when I was still coasting from my days as a collegiate runner.
I'll be sure to keep everyone up to date as the race approaches, but as of now (first week of training) I'm feeling pretty good.
Miranda wanted me to make sure that there was absolutely no confusion as to who wrote this post. Scott is the crazy one.
Also to be noted, unlike Grandma's Half Marathon in 2006, Miranda will not run the race using Scott's race number should he get injured.

I had dinner last night with a friend who just got back from Berlin. She's traveled a lot and said it's been her favorite place so far. Just beautiful...so I think you made a good choice! Although she toured the city on bike, which sounds like a much better idea to me.
I was planning on running the marathon as well but I don't want to dash your training/race moral considering all that "fine coaching" you are receiving. I look forward to the Euro Dual between you and Terp!!!
CT - As you well know, I'm not capable of racing at your level, even with all of the expert advice I have received. It'll be fun regardless, and Miranda is looking forward to having a cheering buddy.
