Berlin Marathon 2007

This morning I woke up by the noise of a helicopter flying over the house. Oh, yes, it's the day of annual Berlin Marathon and the 40.000 participants of the race will pass my street. So I took my camera...
I wasn't quick enough to catch the best man (no wonder, he finished later in world record time) but I took a picture of the later female winner (in white stockings).

Watching the runners reminded me of my participation two years ago and made me feeling proud and a little bit sad at the same time. Maybe my first was not my last Marathon (....I guess the remembrance of the pains is fading away :-).
