Idly tickling the iPad during a break at TEDxZurich this morning, I checked the Berlin Marathon website. Fans of big city marathons feel obliged to keep this one bookmarked — just in case.
Christ on a cracker! Entry for the September 2013 race opens today, at 12 noon. Only 60 Euros for the first 10,000 entrants. I tried to lose this information behind the complexity of the morning’s presentations. But no amount of futuristic urban planning and intravenous nanorobot chat could scrape the knowledge from my cranial walls.
This marathon gets more popular every year. Last year, it had sold out by the New Year.
Sigh. Ah, go on then. So at 12 noon I registered.
Glad I did. Within three hours, all 40,000 places had gone. Wow.

Berlin. Flat, quick … What with your weight-shedding campaign and chi running, given a fair wind and a break from injury a PB could be on the cards. I missed the weight-loss chat on the forum. My tuppence ha’penny’s worth? My weight barely changes no matter what I do. Sadly I’m around ten kilos above where I’d like to be. Sigh.
Excellent! I take it this means Paris is off…?
Huh? What’d I miss? Berlin you say? Oh …. mein Gott im Himmel!
yeahhhhh
