That crazy man of mine is at it again!
He's running the Hamburg Marathon on sunday, he's hoping for a time under 3 and a half hours, but it's forcast hot weather, so maybe a little slower. He ran his last one in 3 hours 50, but this time he's stuck to a proper training plan, so fingers crossed......

Water's not a problem, they have plenty of water stations all the way round - it's more difficult when he's training as any sort of belt/ backpack is annoying and can rub a bit.

Well Snnopysue you will have to run at his side while he is training and carry the water for him.

He'll only shout at me, he doesn't like blowing his own trumpet (or me doing it for him!) - but hey, what he doesn't know wont hurt him!!!

Well we're back!
He did it in 3 hours and 27 mins - it was dead hot too!!!
I did the other Hamburg(er) Marathon!!
Today there were quite a lot of limping young men around the city - mine ended up with some good blisters between his big toe and the next toe, but otherwise was just tired.
Oh and I can recomend Hamburg for a city break, lovely city, wit some good shopping possibilities.
Just to show how crazy he is, my husband ran 42.2 km yesterday, and he's gone running this evening - just to loosen the legs up a bit!

...not only that, but Santa Claus flies over the city every year. If I can find the photo, I post it to prove that he really does exist!
