I got to check out the very retro Tempelhof flughafen (airport) this weekend when I picked up my number for the 1/2 marathon. It made me feel a little like Leo di C. in Catch Me If You Can (granted, without the flank of airhostesses). Despite having some dubious historical associations, it is a building built back when flying still had that whiff of glamour off it. Gorgeous signage, ginormous hallways, sweeping walkways. Apparently they are going to open up the runway this summer for bbq’s. Which I will be attending 
I finished the run in one piece (which was not a certainty due to v. little running before the race!). It was great fun running through the city (under the Brandenburg Gate was cool) although it has to be said the Irish are better cheer-er on-ers than the old Germans. They seemed more in to just looking on with their arms folded… (except that one old lady in Charlottenburg who did a great lot of cheering from her balcony. Danke lady).
Well done on the run mrs! Wish I’d been there to cheer you on. xx
