One marathon, three countries, three languages, three currencies, and no guides!!!
Derek and I decided one cold, dark day in December 2006 that we would take our first extended trip together to a location neither of us had been to but one that we had always wanted to explore. We also figured that the timing was too perfect not to register for and complete our first marathon together in Stockholm. One of the highest rated marathons in the world. So off we go!

You will do great -- and your plan is just as I would have advised!! Slow and steady... AND LOTS of fluids (not just water) EARLY in the race!!! It will pay off later on through the day. Just enjoy it and listen to your bodies. Take it easy and just think about the finish line and the massages that await you when you are done!!!
So Proud!!! Coach T

Enjoy the rest of the trip!
