Now I'm really getting butterflies! It's just two more days to the 3rd AirportRun and I am so excited! I've stopped training now because peace and relaxation are what you need just before the race. Oh, if only I weren't so excited!

In addition to my own humble self, more than 1,600 runners and power walkers have also decided to enter. So the place will be teeming once again – on the route around the BBI construction site, and on the sidelines, too. The atmosphere will be like that at the Berlin Marathon. Anyone making the last-minute decision to join in can come along on the day and sign up, from 7am, for the 10-k run or the half-marathon distance.

My girlfriend Antonia is already looking forward to it. She's promised to come and cheer me on. And when the run is over, there will be some great festivities, including the presentation ceremony, of course, lots of music and a raffle. The preparations are all complete. All there is left for me to say now is: On your marks, get set – half-marathon!
