Looking forward to taking on Benita Johnson in the Berlin half tomorrow. I hope she's still a confirmed starter. And I hope she wins.
I picked up my race number today - I'm starting in block C, which is great because last year I was a lot lower down in the alphabet. I reckon Benita will be halfway round the course before I even cross the starting line. Last year there were over 30,000 runners.
6 X 4 mins, 2 mins slow jog in between.
Was feeling a bit of Friday afternoon flatness beforehand but powered up on some Ritter Sport Vollmilch chocolate and hooned down to the dirt track beside the river where I do my intervals. Managed 6, although I'm not very fast at the moment. Not many other runners but saw a few rowers on the water. Very peaceful there with the sunset glinting off the water. Really great to be out in shorts for the first time this year.

Long run, nice and easy. Another "shiny" day as they say around here. Stopped to admire some deer in the forest, after a brief moment of panic because initially I thought they were wild pigs. I pointed them out to a passing walker who had no eye deer they were there at all. Was hoping to see a squirrel but didn't.
