Berlin Marathon all done.  3 hours, 6 minutes.  I really "hit the wall" at around 30km and struggled towards the end but am happy to have finished just a few minutes behind my target. I think I'll take it easy for a while before putting on running shoes.

Berlin is a great marathon city and a wonderful place to spend a few days afterwards to recover.  The course packs in plenty of sites, huge crowd support, live music throughout and conveniently starts and finishes in the beautiful Tiergarten.  I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to achieve a new PB or even just to run a first marathon.  Someday I may seriously have to consider going back for one more crack at 2:59!

Thanks again for all of your support.
