Here I go.... first marathon! I have watched my dad run marathons growing up, I watched my boyfriend cruise through last year's NY marathon without training, I watched numerous retired college teammates complete marathons, and here I am following in their footsteps! There are a couple of reasons why I am in the very excited phase right now:

1. I will be running in Berlin, the city I fell in love with when I studied abroad there.

2. Berlin is the flattest marathon.... thank goodness.

3. I haven't run more than 13 miles yet, so don't really know what 13+ miles in a row feels like.

4. I am running with my colleagues, which has been the most amazing opportunity to connect outside of the office, share a love of being active and explore NYC together.

5. Morning runs for sunrises; evening runs for sunsets.

6. Oktoberfest is awaiting our arrival after the marathon. 

I am so thankful for the opportunity to whip myself into shape and complete the Berlin marathon and as a result, raise money for the incredibly impactful Pancreatic Cancer UK Foundation.  Any support is greatly appreciated, and thank you thank you thank you SO much for your support!
