They got the right idea.
I don't know why I'm running.
I should be at a picnic table,
drinking a beer,
having a currywurst.
What am I doing?
Why am I running?
Hey you what's up everybody?
Welcome to Berlin, Germany.
Today I'm going for a run through the Tiergarten,
which is this awesomely huge and beautiful park
in the center of Germany [Berlin]
and behind me is the victory monument
a really cool monument
right in the middle of the park.
So... let's check out this park.
There are tons of pathways
that just zig-zag this park
every which way you want to go.
So we'll just kind of run up and down a few,
see what this park is about.
I hope you enjoy going for a run with me in Berlin.
Let's check out the Tiergarten Park.
Here we go!
It's early October
and I came to Berlin to run the Berlin Marathon.
I'm wearing my Berlin Marathon t-shirt.
I should probably be wearing long sleeves today.
It's a little bit chilly.
I've been here five days
this is the first day I've been here
that it hasn't rained.
Even on marathon day
we got a good old amount of rain
ah.. the second half of the run.
Whoo!
Made for some challenging conditions in that race
but still a lot of fun.
I don't know where I'm going, I really don't.
This park is a little confusing
because of how many pathways there are.
So really, umm...
I just pick one and go down it
and when I see another path that looks kind of cool I turn
and I keep doing that
and before you know it I'm kind of lost in the park.
At least I know I'm in the park.
That's good.
So I can find my way eventually.
In the meantime,
just keep ah...
keep running nice and slow and...
enjoy the huge trees
some of the open fields
and see if we can find any little hidden gems in the park.
Who knows?
Keep going!
I think at some point I'm gonna go...
to the left.
There's a map.
We can check the map.
Okay, here we go.
Umm.. I have no idea.
Ah!
Red dot.
That's me, so I think I'm gonna go here
and through.
That's the plan,
up to the floralplatz
and then through.
So let's check it out.
I am coming up on a Brandenburg Gate.
So we will see the gate
in just a minute here
as we're about to leave the park.
So let's turn the camera.
Let's get through this big puddle
and there's the Brandenburg Gate.
Okay, the last time I ran through the gate
was at the marathon a couple days ago
and we were going the other way.
So I'm not gonna run through any more of the city
ah just because I think it's pretty crowded
and lots of traffic.
So I'm gonna go back into the park.
This way.
Alright. Let's go this way!
They got the right idea.
I don't know why I'm running.
I should be at a picnic table
drinking a beer
having a currywurst.
What am I doing?
Why am I running?
I just ran a marathon three days ago.
My legs are tired.
I should be drinking beer and eating currywurst [cry].
Uhh!
Later. I'll do it later.
The German house of parliament behind me...
behind that tree actually.
It looks kind of crazy with people.
I'm not gonna run over there.
Instead, I'm gonna go this way,
through the park.
I'm pretty sure I know
what the crowds are about today.
Tomorrow is the German unification day.
October 3rd.
So I'm pretty sure
that's what all this
festival and everything getting set up is for.
I might have to come back tonight
and check it out.
In the meantime let's see if I can even run through this park.
Yeah I can cross the road.
I think.
There's the Brandenburg Gate, again.
Okay everyone,
so I'm on the road
where the Berlin Marathon starts and finishes
and to be honest
I don't know how often you actually get to run on this road
other than marathon day but
they've got it all closed off
for this festival.
I mean look in front of me.
There's nothing
except for the Victory Monument ahead.
What the heck,
I'm just gonna run down this road.
It's gonna bring back a little memories from
marathon Sunday a couple days ago.
Oh this is beautiful!
Amazing,
to be able to get to run down this road.
Fantastic!
Super, super cool.
Anyway, this is what I'd like to run down the road.
Let's check it out.
Alright guys,
this park is so big
there's no way I can show you all of it.
But I hope you enjoyed running with me
through the Tiergarten Park
in Berlin, Germany.
Fantastic place to visit.
Fantastic place to run.
So...
I think I'm just gonna head on back now
and call it a good run.
Thanks for watching everyone.
My name is Andy, I'm the Travel Runner
and I'm not sure where I'm going to be traveling to next
but wherever I go I'm gonna be running
and of course I hope to see you there.
Bye everyone,
and thanks for watching.
