Before the Berlin marathon

Before my training for the Berlin marathon, I trained the 10 kilometers distance. Indeed it is a good base, but some points are different for me:

1. The long runs are time consuming.
2. I can explore new routes. That's fun for me.
3. Pace is less important than mileage. My goal is to finish with a smile.
4. I need drinks more than food.
5. 10km runs feel short now.
6. A person named me "jogger" instead of "runner". Pace is increasing slightly over long distances.
7. I have lost one kilogram weight.
8. I still don't know what is beyond 37 kilometers
9. Although I run more in total, I am not more exhausted and I feel easy. But after a long run, I need a full day to recover.
10. My heart feels strong but feet and legs are tired after long run.
11. I am not sure how the race day starts and ends, but I am ready! 9 Weeks preparation seems okay for me, but for an easy-going-run I would prefer to have three weeks more.

The organization of the Berlin marathon is perfect so far.
