Patrick and a few of his friends are doing the Berlin marathon this fall. I’ve watched him run two marathons now, and I’m not entirely up for another round of sitting by the finish line twiddling my thumbs. I feel like I should at least try this once myself!
In late 2008, I signed up for the Surf City marathon in San Diego but didn’t run it (and only ever got up to eleven miles). The race took place right after the holidays, and I was just generally undisciplined toward the end. I’m kind of concerned that the same thing will happen this time around with summer traveling and visits home to California, which will precede the marathon and possibly interrupt my training (which I’d basically have to begin now to be in shape by September). On the other hand, I may be living in Berlin for the month of July and it would be incredibly cool to train in the city and to replicate routes from Run, Lola, Run.
No shame in admitting that a movie is the primary reason why I find this whole idea so appealing.

After living in Berlin for two years, I realized that the route Lola runs is impossible. The areas are nowhere near one another. Funny, huh?
