Braunlingen Germany

Two weeks after going to Munich for Oktoberfest, a group of 10 of us heading to the Black Forest in Germany to run in the Schwarzwald Marathon. In preparation for running the half-marathon Emily and I ran a total of 9 miles the two weeks before the race... yep quite a training program.

Emily threw down a blazing time of 1 hour 45 minutes (8:03 miles) and was in the 9th percentile for women.

I came in at 1 hour and 50 minutes (8:26 miles) and was just happy to finish.



The gang.
