another day in berlin

the sun has rotated 37 times around our local star since i first breathed a gulp of air on this wonderful planet. i am celebrating by not going into work, reading on the balcony, running through berlin's parks and helping ant finish off her thesis.

Haile Gebrselassi won the Berlin Marathon yesterday and broke his previous world record. aparently he is 35, so i guess that means i am also approximately at my physical peak. berlin is relatively flat and if i start training (and possibly find a few sneaky shortcuts) i reckon i can run a sub-2 hour marathon next year...

Für die Berliner: Montag ist ein schlechter Tag ein Geburtstag zu feiern, deswegen Trinken und Tanzen findet am Tag der Deutschen Einheit statt.

  1. This is how my mac translated that: For the citizens of Berlin: Monday is to be celebrated a bad day a birthday, therefore drinking and dancing takes place on the day of the German unit.

    Very strange.....
