2013 P2P

[El Gordo]

Just curious EG - you planning to run P2P or walk it?
My memories of 2011 are still sharp enough that I intend to train for this. Hard.

The only honest answer is that I don't have any plan for it at this stage.

Without wanting to create any 'limiting beliefs', I'd also have to say that at the moment, unless something dramatic and unexpected happens, running up it seems like an impossible task. But there again, to declare this far out that I plan to walk it, would undermine any effort to get fit enough to do some running.

Both running P2P and getting to the start of the Berlin Marathon seem like rather distant possibilities, but my thought was that if I did actually manage to get into shape for Berlin, I would be more than halfway ready to think about entering P2P as a runner.

So until I learn more about my attitude towards Berlin, I'm not thinking much about P2P.

But I take your point -- and (jokes aside) I've never had any doubts that haring up a 45 degree mountain road for 13 miles would present a 55 year old fat bloke with one or two challenging moments -- and that a little careful preparation would pay dividends in this regard.
