Firstly, I must say that Berlin is a beautiful and amazing city. I wish I had more time here. But my short stay has been plagued by craziness.
My original plan was to run a 5k in Berlin on Saturday and then pop over to Poland to run on Monday, but on arrival in Berlin on Saturday morning....both of my suitcases were lost. After flying for about 30 hours I just wanted a shower and clean clothes but at least I got the shower! :)
I changed by plan and decided I would wait one day to see if I got my luggage. If I didn't, I was close to a Nike store and I would go and buy new runners and running clothes. I would not be deterred!
Sunday morning arrived and good news - one of my suitcases arrived, but NOT the one with my running stuff. :( And, it turned out to be the hottest day on record in Germany. IT IS SO HOT! And it turns out that stores aren't open on Sundays so no way to get running stuff.
Last night my second suitcase arrived. :)
A huge thunderstorm blew through Berlin so temperatures have dropped.
But my knee has been throbbing.
So, this Monday morning. I just didn't think about it and got up and got ready to run. I took some pain medicine and off I went.
The beautiful city street I ran down was modeled after the Champs Elysees.
It was not busy but it seems every person I ran around was smoking.
It was an overcast and cooler morning.
So great to FINALLY get my FOURTH country complete!!!!
My playlist rocked.
I rocked.
SO HAPPY!!!!!
