Paris 2009

This feeling did not last the whole race.

The Finish, but no PB :(

I would highly recommend the Paris Marathon, it is very well organised and a mixture of running past some of the most iconic buildings in the world and running through parks which could be any where.  The main advantage over London is you do not have to put up with a lottery and the waiting game.  If is first come, first served.  Then you can book up the Eurostar and hotel and get training.
