Ready to run!
After the marathon behind the Brandeburger Tor with Kent.
That’s right I ran the first marathon in my live. Kent did his second and gave me some insights how to prepare.
After the race you’re entitled to eat some German specialty.
Besides running I dedicated most of my time with my family and friends, travelling and of course the BizTalk community. Thanks everyone for reading my blog and I will continue to share my knowledge through speaking and writing in 2014.
Cheers,
