Success Stories
Run the Paris half marathon! One day I woke up and said I want to run a half marathon in Paris. FYI, I am a runner and have run over 20 half marathons, a full marathon (26.2 miles) and an ultra marathon (31.1 miles) running in Paris was a matter of location not trying something totally new.
I had no idea how I would afford to Pay for this but I paid my entry fee months in advance to secure my place just in case I could pull it off. I saved and then I stared believing that I could make it happen. I did it! On Feb 26th I boarded a plane to Paris, France and on March 2nd I ran the Paris half marathon. I was very emotional for me. I have always wanted to go to Paris and to combine my 2 loves, travel and running was outstanding! The picture below is me at packet pick up, for non runners it is where you pick up you race number and t-shirt.
CREPES, crepes and more crepes!!! You get your pick of savory or sweet. Sweet is my fav: bananas con nutella. 15 lbs later...
We stayed in the Monmartre district (art district), visited Moulin Rouge (bad news after dark), chained locks to the Lover's Bridge & threw away the key, visited the Lourve, Marie Antoinette's estate as well as the Palace of Versailles. And OF COURSE we popped a bottle of champagne under the Eiffel Tower on our last night. Now, can I get a crepe?
I've been to France once but we didn't go to Paris. I have some family in France and many friends too. My goal is to go on the summer 2016 for maybe two weeks. It's gonna be my first trip all alone (or with a friend). I'm excited about this, I hope it will work!
Update: I've finally been to Paris in May 2016 and got to see my friends there. It was my first trip alone and I was very exited about it! I've got to see Paris and Strasbourg. I plan to go back next year so I can see again my friends there. :)
Went for a long weekend with my boyfriend for the Paris Marathon in 2014.
Went to all the big attractions including the Eiffel Tower where we climbed the stairs all the way up to the top!
We also rented these bikes and cycled all round paris, which was scary at times - especially going round the Arc De Triomphe roundabout.
