Berlin marathon day minus 3

It's three days , until my next marathon.
This time a return to Berlin for my 18th marathon, in a great city.
Hopefully the weather is dryer than last years consistent rain until 15-16 miles or so, splash splash heavy rain so much that I wore one of those poncho things for 10 miles plus.
The latest BBC weather forecast for Berlin states 20degrees and sunny.
More pleasant then consistent rain, especially for spectators.
This year the marathon will also be shown on BBC 2 in the UK - probably because my running hero and national treasure Paula Radcliffe is running.

Once again I am fundraising for the Nightingale House Hospice in Wrexham.

And big thanks to everyone who has donated so far, the hospice and staff do a wonderful caring job.

Nightingale House Hospice Fundraising & Injury

Two themes at the moment.

Following my birthday party and my 10th marathon our fundraising for Nightingale House Hospice In Wrexham has reached £1,300. see here

Thank you everyone. And of course the fundraising and My 10th Marathon run are dedicated to the staff of the Hospice.


Part 2
I gained no injuries at the marathon.
But...
the first few runs afterwards, owwww
Tendonitis on the top of the left foot.
I started seeing the physio .

But then worse.
back ache changed into
a leg nerve pain , not sciatica -iam am told- as its down the front of my right thigh. I chose to visit an osteopath , considering i felt it was back originated.
so 9 days after the riginal 'injury' it is still only slowly resolving .One rather awkward run of 5k :-(
