I’ve had just over a week of ‘down-time’ and I already feel like getting back to the trails however, I will wait out the prescribed two weeks. This weekend I’m heading to Vancouver and Victoria to visit my sister and catch a Band of Horses concert on Saturday night. Maybe I’ll get a couple runs in Beacon Hill and Stanley Park, which is nice because I won’t actually be running long so those venues won’t consist of too many loops.
I stayed on in Berlin for the rest of the week to get all the tourist stuff done. That way I didn’t feel like I needed to see anything before the race and I could just concentrate on getting ready for the marathon. Here are some pics (plus one from race and one athlete banquet).
