They have both the 10k and the marathon on the same day. I'm just volunteering to help out this year, so I'm not running.

I'll probably try and do this.

EDIT: Lately I've been running about 5K along the Isar every Tuesday and Thursday. Very slow pace (~10 minute mile). Anyone interested in getting themselves back into shape is more than welcome to join me. This running is, of course, in addition to the biweekly exercise that I get with the happiest group of runners in Munich, the Munich Hash House Harriers.

would love to join u upquark, but i am away on holiday and i will be running there a week later http://www.grazmarathon.at/

And the front marathon runners just passed our house at the 36-minute mark.

I was running up near Aumeister beer garden this morning (the 33 km mark) and saw them setting up the water etc. By the time I got to Tal the marathon was in full swing and I had to go down into the U bahn to cross over Marienplatz, as there was no other way of getting through the runners . I saw a sign near Sendlingerstr which indicated that it was the 13km mark.

Whew, that was a really great experience for a first marathon!
There were some really nice English-speaking people handing out candy between the 25 and 26 markers. Toytowners, maybe? It was a great lift!

@origami snowball, congratulations on running your first marathon!! How did you do?

just finished my first marathon also...wow..it was a fantastic experience...but the last 5 kms are a killer...but finished fresh and healthy in 4.34.50 ...and capable of driving home...muscles seizing now though!!!

Congratulations too Marie! How long have you been running?

Yeah, congratulations, marie--we were racing close to each other, then!

Even though my splits were ba-haaaaad, I was happy that I only missed my goal by 50 seconds (although my own watch was a bit more generous than the mika chip). I have to say that I'm just thrilled to have finished, am still alive, and that most of my body is still intact. Oh! And now I have a good excuse to just kind of loaf around tomorrow.

Ok, you're both women and you run! YAY! I need some help progressing with my running, then maybe I can join you next year .

Well done, both of you! My co-worker in the next-door office is training for the New York marathon, she's even taking a couple of months off.

Congratulations to the both of you!

This time last year, I told myself I'd be running this year, but I just didn't have the discipline to do the training so it wasn't to be. I'll do one sometime...

Congrats to you also Origami...I bet you're stiff now...i came home after hanging around olympic park for 2 hours after the race...and I tried to sleep...but all those isotonic drinks...meant I was like a duracell bunny...I had to order takeaway avanti pizza...cooking would have been too much effort...whahey..for www.avantipizza.com. Walking like a granny now...anybody offering sports massage?
