How do I know this? As I was strolling through your pictures, I noticed the picture of "view from your bed" and recognized that you have your father's toes! We both know that your father has been a runner all his life, and your mother doesn't run and the one thing that stands out is the square shaped toe just like your father. Therefore, my conclusion is marathon runners must have square shaped toes!

At some point in the race, a woman shouted "noch zwei kilometers!" and for some reason I thought that meant I had only ran 1 kilometer and started feeling scared.. 2. Later I saw lights flashing in the distance and thought I was almost to the end. I started speeding up, until I realized it was an ambulance and they were taking a young girl away on a gurney. This type of false alarm actually happened three times. 3. When I crossed the finish line, I was dying for water and begged a woman to give me one of the cups she had somehow found for herself. Then I choked and sputtered when it turned out to be salty, sparkling water. Bleh! Thank goodness I did not take a cup while running.
