2016 Berlin Marathon Expo + Good News + Spectating

This year the Berlin Marathon Expo also known as the Expo BERLIN VITAL was held at the Station de Berlin.  In previous years the expo was located at an old airport hanger (which looked so cool). I am not sure why they changed the location, but Station de Berlin is much closer to the city center.  Here is an excerpt from their website for a little history 101:  The history of STATION-Berlin begins around the same time as the birth of…

Before the Fall – My 2016 Berlin Marathon Countdown

Editor's Note: Hello everyone! Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving with your friends and family.  The 2017 Berlin Marathon lottery results will be announced over the next two days, how exciting! I thought it would be a good time to share my 2016 Berlin Marathon Countdown post that I prepared before the marathon.  I was planning on sharing it before our flight to Germany, but we all know what happened the night before.  I have some fun posts lined up (foot update,…

My Next Marathon – Jenny Runs _____________

After the Chicago (Part 1, Part 2) and Marine Corps Marathons I spent November and December relaxing, going on fun runs/races, attending yoga classes and hiking. I looked at my calendar and realized I ran three marathons in a year (Nov 2014-Oct 2015), crazy!  What's next?  Rewind nine months ago.  I was dreaming of the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, croissants, baguettes and practicing my Francais.  A couple years ago I missed a family vacation to Paris because of a work project.  The 2016…
