And now after two days looking around Cologne, Düsseldorf, and Roermond, now we get to the part where I actually ran the 42 kilometers/26.2 miles of the Cologne Marathon.

My second day in Cologne was actually spent away from that city, exploring nearby Düsseldorf as well as a Dutch town, Roermond.

I don't know if I mentioned this anywhere before on this blog but I run marathons. Not very often, after all a 26.2 mile run requires some preparation, but I try to do one once a year. Half marathons I can do every month, but a full marathon for me is a special event. Typically I do them somewhere far from where I live and plan vacations around them. The last marathon I'd done before Cologne was in Honolulu, and the one before that was in South Padre Island, Texas.

So...after an unforgettable two years and three months living in a country which for most of my life I've been fascinated by and wanted to live in, I'm now back in the USA. Specifically in New Mexico. It's not such a letdown after Baden-Württemberg, though I honestly would have preferred Colorado.
