When I moved to China in 1999 I wasnt able to run for more then 5 minutes. My wife
started running and dragged me along. At a marathon there are often also shorter distances
like half marathons or ten-kilometer runs. I, as a true Duchy, register always for the
full marathon, coz why run a half marathon if you could have twice the pain for the same
amount of money?
Although Im not a good runner puke before I see the first five k-sign
I enjoy the atmosphere and the people. Im quite sure the people enjoy me, coz
Im fully dressed up in orange and even paint my hair orange in honor or our royal
family. My fastest time so far is 5:05 at the Beijing marathon 2001 and my slowest is the
Great Wall marathon 2002 in 7:40.
