Nord Ostsee Sparkasse Wintermarathon and Rostock Heide

Ran the above Marathon at the weekend, organised by Husum running club (http://www.lav-husum.de/). Its basically out 13 miles and back on cycle ways, slightly undulating but a hard headwind for the first half made it hard going. I won in 2:39:54, first time sub 2:40, after catching the leader after 20 miles.

Today I went for an 11 mile trail run in Rostocker Heide, a large forest just outside the city. Photos of that above. The running in Rostock seems pretty good, plenty of bike trails set off the road, like above, and softer trails.. just no hills.
