this and that

Just want to get you all up to speed.
Applied for Berlin Marathon. Only 5000 spots are available, so if you consider running Berlin, hurry up! It is on 28.Sept. and worth the travel...! As for Marine Corps Marathon there might be a very small chance that we can run it. They seem to have a few open spots for foreigners. Let's wait and hope.
Today I ran my first long run after Nagano M. 30k at the Enoshima beach line. Was quit warm and sunny, temperatures in the 23 C range topping 28C in the sun. I averaged 5:17 pace and lost 3,2kg of water. Had a few drinks during the run until my stomach signaled "it's enough, dude. Who do you think I am drinking pure water on a sunny, lovely Sunday afternoon while everybody else is having fun...". I am back at home now, feeling a little dehydrated. In a few hours I'll be OK again.
Just have to listen to my stomach... ;-)
